    Are you telling us that you are actually making, say a box, by measuring it with your hands and feet? That’s barbaric! I’m guessing you actually use a tape measure like the rest of us.

      You and @Zerush both resorted to this fake idea that [not using the metric convention] = [measuring things with your body-parts]

      Very weird lie. I’ll take it as an admission you’re out of sensible points.

        That is what you’re implying by saying that imperial is more intuitive. But if you’re measuring with normal measurement equipment that argument is moot. At that point using imperial is easier for you just because you’re used to it. When normal people have to use imperial for things, all intuition is out the door and it will be hell.

        You’re failing to externalise your own experience from the situation. Maybe you should practice that a bit more.
