    I’ll convert to metric once we convert to a dozenal number system. Ten is a terrible number to base our counting system on.

      Maybe when you are counting apples, but not when you are dealing with arbitrary amounts. Why else is our number system base 10?

      Imperial sucks, and metric is better, but still +1 for dozenal. Anybody who isn’t for it is either confused about the very concept of different bases (I’ve talked to plenty of those), or biased.

      I don’t know why you dozenal advocates are being downvoted.
