? i don't know about you, but multiplying 19" times 25.4 isnt something easy at all to do quickly in your head.
Also, not to mention the best example: when i have to convert cm to m I move the comma
when I have to convert from cm to freedom units:
-Divide the height in centimeters by 30.48 and write down the whole number as feet
-Multiply the decimal part of the above division by 12
-Round the result of the multiplication to the nearest whole number and write it down as inches
like, really? you have to use two different units added together for one thing?
How is that easy?
Freedom units.. Oh, you mean imperial? As in, Britain? Yeah, we're just using their old system and haven't bothered to change unless there's a practical necessity.
If you grow up in the US, you learn both systems and you're able to convert between them. It's easy.
2.2 pounds to the kg
1 inch is 25.4 mm
A gallon is 3.8 liters
But it's fun watching supposedly intelligent people from other countries who reeeeeee when seeing imperial units.

The British still gladly mix both systems inconsistently. They measure themselves in stones & buy cars based on liter per mile fuel efficiency.
Which is exactly why we had to kick them out of the EU. This is obviously a joke. They went because their politicians are incompetent liars.
