metric is much better than imperial for measurements even though I was brought up with fractions .its also better for threads everythings standard
I love it when Americans gone on about how they don't need the metric system and then you watch a machinist on Youtube talking about 0.625 inches
I will often use which ever unit is best for the job I'm doing but when I use imperial I find myself saying things like 22 1/2 inches and a bit, I have even done things like 23 inches and 4mm
