    I’m steel-manning the argument for sticking with US Standard. I think there is a lot more precision inherent in how the system functions that you don’t really get in every day uses. Even so, I would rather deal with meters and liters because I hate having to convert between the two systems and metric seems to have won anyway.

      I really dont get why it should be more precise… Precision is dependent on my measurement and calculation. How can it be dependent on units? (if you smaller units as needed by your measurement and calculation)

        I’ve never seen metric units represented with fractions

          Well, sometimes, because writing 1,3333333333333 is shitty :P, in those seldom cases I rather write it as 1,1/3
