When I was teaching at Sienna college over the summer, some of my students asked me how far 30cm was we were doing some robotics stuff.

I thought schools were supposed to teach both english and metric systems? If they have any interest in doing anything related to international business or science, they have to learn to think in metric.

Metric is so much fucking easier, why do most americans think in the english system? 12" = 1 foot, 16oz = 1 cup, 5280 feet = 1 mile why? Everything else is base 10.
