Well, the metric system does make much more sense than the feet and yards etc. :mrgreen: (stirring the pot). We use the metric system in medicine!
The metric system does make sense... I find the American way really confusing. We do commonly use feet when talking about height -like I'm 5'4", and pounds to talk about weight.
Distances and everything else are measured in meters or KM.
However, lucky people who get to be in exchanges with me won't get a quarter yard, they'll get a nice quarter meter of fabric :)
