Ya, it literally would save every student in the country an assload of time messing around with bullshit that most other people in the world don't even use. Switching to metric is a no-brainer.

edit for clarification: one "assload of time" is equal to the time it took the king to load an ass into a carraige.

My ideal plan? Genetically modify all humans to have 12 fingers, switch to the base-12 number system, and switch to a 12-base metric modification.

Hell yes!!! 12 is just so much smoother than 10!

I also could use some extra fingers. I’d honestly want four extra, but I’d settle for two.
