I want to prefer imperial, but using fractions for tools is super fucking annoying when millimeters are easy, and then stores giving me price per ounce in the store, other products price per pound making me do the fucking Mental Math multiplying times 16 pisses me off.

Fractions are a stupid way to measure small distances, and ounces are a stupid way to measure it small amounts of weight.

I could honestly care if Imperial wants to fuck men or women or both, I just don't want it to be fucking annoying when I'm trying to do work.
