    Lot’s of people are confused by watts and watt-hours tho. I think having the power rating of appliences as a rate (J/s) is more intuitive. If I use a 5MJ/s fan for 10s I used 50MJ of energy. The only inconvenience here comes from our weird time conversions, so I think J/h would be more convenient

    Ta-da! 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard.

    That is not the win you think it is since metric only has one unit, the meter, to begin with so no conversion needed at all. 12 meters in 12 meters, three meters in three meters.

    You can’t divide something by the second smallest prime number without breaking out repeating decimals.

    You technically don’t have to use decimals, you can use fractions too. Ta-da! 1/3 meter. See? No repeating decimals!
    Also yall literally use the decimal system for US customary too
