Mheh.

I'm fully conversant with both systems and use them both in regular life.

Neither is superior.

There is no such thing as a standard thread pitch for a bolt in metric,therefore metric sucks.

Metric System;

My father was very upset when the "State Store" (we live in PA.) went to the metric system. You see he always bought a "fifth" of liquor (1/5 of a gallon) which equaled 757 ml. Now they are all 750 ml bottles and my father believed he was being cheated because the price was the same.

My uncle used to complain about Joe Kennedy getting a dollar every time he bought a bottle of Crown.

He was being cheated. Every little bit counts.
