MODERATORS
How much do you weigh? As much as 11 stones and 2 pebbles.
How far is that? 2 feet and 5 thumbs.
How fast are we going? About 6 knots in a rope that's hanging overboard.
It does make me laugh sometimes sorry. But the real problem is not the base units.. It's the multiplication factor.
I agree that most of the imperial system sucks, but knots (and by extention nautical miles) have a good reason for being used everywhere when navigating long distances around the globe because both are based on the way coordinates work.
