The point is if someone told you to add 300m to 1.456KM and the end result has to be in imperial units would you convert them first and then add or would you just add them up and then convert the end result?
The imperial system actually has a unit for unicorn farts. The Foe. Leprechaun semen is measured in gallons just like human semen. So as you can see, it's a straight forward conversion.
You have said this a few times. That is only true if the people in the argument are basing their beliefs on blind faith. The metric system is just superior by the evidence. Hell, you even admitted it by using the argument of "its harder, so it makes people that use it better at math!". Then you compounded it by trying to accuse the people on the other side of being bad at math.
This is a really bad argument and it makes you look like a fool. They are only easier for you because you were raised with them and apparently aren't smart enough to convert and get used to metric. I bet you use the same logic about how your biblical beliefs are just obviously better than other religions, without being smart enough to understand that it only feels more "right" to you because you are used to the silliness in your own religion and not the others.
It teaches the concepts of a non tens based system better then metric does and it teaches it very early. That tens based system is the main feature of metric that focus is both its strength and its weakness. Imperial is much less focused upon a tens based system.
What the fuck, nobody learns any "non tens based system" with imperial units, we just multiply and divide and estimate.
Really? 12 inches to a foot, 16 ounces to a pound, 4 litters to a gallon basically the entire imperial measurement system is non tens based. You of course will also learn the tens based system in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but how are those non tens based systems? They're just retarded made up numbers to get to the next unit. I thought you were referring to like, binary, octal, hex number systems...
lol u say my argument is bad then type all this. I C wut U did thar.
In a manner of speaking, 12 inches in a foot is a base 12 system. 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour is a base 60 system. Etc etc etc. I think that's what he's talking about. I see them as fractions personally, but I am aware that some people handle those better thinking of them as number base systems.
Yea I see them as fractions or percents of the whole too, maybe thats why I misread that... I've never heard of anybody teaching inches/feet as like a base 12 system.
