The metric system was created as a whole different system and it should not have been. The concept is very good but the execution and dynamics are horrible.
For example if the centimeter was created to equal exactly 1/2" then an inch would be divisible by 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20 and easily converted back and forth.
a common yard stick could be used to easily convert from feet to centimeters (example) 12"=1ft=24 centimeters. This probably would have been a more rational approach to creating a whole new system to begin with. This concept would have made both systems ultra dynamic and flexible depending on what you are using it for.

What are some metric system suffixes?
Some common metric system suffixes include: kilo (k) = 10^3 (1000) centi (c) = 10^-2 (0.01) milli (m) = 10^-3 (0.001)
How is the metric system illogical?
The metric system is generally considered logical due to its base-10 system and decimal structure, which simplifies calculations and conversions. However, some may find it challenging if they are accustomed to a non-metric system, such as the Imperial system. The logic of the metric system lies in its uniformity and ease of use once familiarized.
Does England use the metric system?
Yes, England primarily uses the metric system for weights and measures. However, in some cases, imperial units are still used alongside metric units.
What was the benefits of adopting the metric system?
Some benefits of adopting the metric system include international standardization, ease of conversion between units due to the decimal system, and increased efficiency in scientific and technical fields. Additionally, using the metric system can reduce errors in calculations and promote consistency and accuracy in measurements.
What is the difference between decimal and metric?
Decimal refers to the numbering system based on powers of 10, whereas metric is a system of measurement based on meters, grams, and liters as the fundamental units. Decimal can be applied to any numerical system, while metric specifically refers to units of measurement.
Which continent uses the metric system?
In all the continents are using some countries are using the metric system more in Asia and Europe most of the countries are using the metric system.
What are some metric system suffixes?
Some common metric system suffixes include: kilo (k) = 10^3 (1000) centi (c) = 10^-2 (0.01) milli (m) = 10^-3 (0.001)
What are some arguments against selling organs?
It is possible that you may die.

What are some arguments against the fact that global warming is a worldwide crisis?
There are none.
What are some reason that the si system uses metric uinits and not the English system?
Only three countries still cling to the "English" system, whereas the whole world uses metric. The SI units were established in 1960 as part of a review of the metric system used at the time; it uses metric units because it is the current version of the metric system.
