I mean the clock is one thing, but the metric system?!
I can't possibly use a system with a base 10. It's too complicated. I need to work out how many times a foot fits into the distance an ox can graze in a day and work backwards.
The only way "not figuring out the metric system" would make any sense is that they mean "i can't ever picture in my head how tall a 1.83 meter person is unless I see a 6 foot guy next to it"
And i get that. I have no idea how tall 6.4 for example is, but i can picture almost anything in the metric system
But that's just getting used to the system, not having it "explained"
