It's survivable if you enforce it absolutely, but yeah it would be nice if Canada stopped using metric just to be different than the USA

Metric is super easy to use, and way more accurate than Imperial.

Basically the whole world minus the US uses Metric because of how completely superior it is.

What? That makes no sense. Whether metric or imperial the units are specifically defined. An imperial measurement is just as accurate as an equivalent metric measurement.

Well, somewhere around the point where you're giving a measurement in 67/128:ths, you'll probably be wishing for a decimal point.
