As someone in a trade industry, I've used both and honestly i don't fucking care. Everything we build is built in inches. The minimum length of tubing/ pipe that we can weld is 1 inch Unless otherwise specified. When we build for foreign companies we use our measurement for the pipeing and vessels but use metric nuts and bolts. Its really not an everyday issue.
a pound of ground beef is 0.4535923kg so if you need a a pound of beef for your hamburger helper just use those numbers. Or you can suck the Queens a$$ and use metric shiat. I mean Europeans are always the ones we should follow.

"Suck the Queen's ass" or, y'know, be from almost every country in the world except the US and two relatively small countries
I agree with this, I always have to change my phone app preferences to metric cos it's set to imperial automatically (and I live in the UK), and yeah Celsius is easier to understand.
Making a rant about a system instituted several hundred years ago that is currently in use by 400+ million people and to change can only really accomplished in one of two ways is pointless. First option would be to have a complete and abrupt change immediately to the metric system which would require a simultaneous replacement of all current measurement in the affected area. This would cost billions and cause massive widespread confusion in the affected areas. The second method would be to gradually change everything over the course or several generations to insure not only a smooth transition but help reduce the financial and infrastructure impact. Now which options is most likely to happen? And which option is any kind of rant about how one is stupid really going to help? Instead of ranting if you really want to move to metric you should be offering useful help to educate imperial users with tips and advice on how to convert one to the other.
Well all of sciences in america use the metric system, and 99.9% of us are taught how to convert back and forth between them by like... 8th grade (although a lot of people forget).
I don't know if I'm too tired but that still makes no sense. Op needs to comeback explain because the way they have it written is
(12" 7/23 inches long)
The way I'm reading it is 12 inches 7/23 inches long which makes no sense.
1/4
1/8
1/16
1/32
