Good points.

Vulgar Fractions and Decimal Fractions never worry me. I can us them all. Yep. I can use feet and inches too, no question.

But since moving to a decimal system here a long time ago, the terms:
- 12 pounds and 6 and a half ounces,
- Nine and three quarter U.S. gallons,
- Seventeen feet, five and three sixteenths of an inch measurements
are,
well,
well,
so unnecessarily complicated - when there is already a much easier method that has been around for such a long time.

And yes, I also already know that that 1 mile = 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards

But, using metric, I don't have to remember that 16 ounces = 1 pound. 14 pounds = 1 stone or that 2000lb = 1 'short' ton.

I only have to know that
- 1000mm = 1 metre,
- 1000 metres = 1km.
- 1000 grams = 1 kgm.
- 1000 kgm = 1 metric tonne.

Just so, so much easier.
