...still use the imperial measurement system? If so, I pity you guys... moving a decimal a few places is easier than having to get out your calculator and punch in a bunch of stuff... |

Yes, metric is much better than material. Thankfully, we do still use metric in all science-related things, or else we'd be seriously screwed over. |

We use the metric AND the imperial system in England. Local shops, such as butchers and greegrocers etc use imperial and most big chains (supermarkets) use metric. It can be confusing. |

We use both in America and it seems we use the metric system math sometimes. |
