Is metric more accurate than standard?
First of all, the metric unit IS the standard unit. It is the international standard, and only a few countries don't use it yet. It is not any more accurate - the inch, for example, is defined on the basis of the meter, so it is just as accurate. However, the metric system can help avoid confusions - for example, different countries used to have, and in part still have, different definitions for the pound. The main advantage of the metric system lies in its standardization - people all over the world using the SAME measurements.
