while I do understand the metric system, and changing wouldnt bother me, I dont realy understand what is wrong with our system. It dosent seem much more complicated to me than the other.

Think about how often you say a "half", "quarter", "third", "two thirds". Mabye thats just cause I use fractions all the time. It would be tough to try to convert though, I can look at something and tell you that its about 15 feet tall, or gauge a mile just by the feel of it. Would take a while to learn to do that in cm, m, km

ohh and how do you guys deal with not havin a unit of measue between cm and m?? I dont know what I would do without feet!
