      We may be the minority, but many of us Americans prefer the metric system.

      Ease of conversion and relationship with calories aside, have you ever tried measuring small SI machine screws? Calipers run decimal, not fractions. You can’t compare them without math or memorization. It’s a pain in the ass.
