So you have to learn two seperate systems instead of one?! Thats not cool to do to students. That's just giving them more work to do for the sake of keeping an old tradition alive. Yeesh.
yeah but unless you're serious about studying science you only learn just enough metric to get through the class and then forget everything. best country on earth btw
Most of the time, you don't do combined unit calculations with imperial units. You just leave the number of pounds or ounces or tons on its own. Rarely do you have to go from feet per second to miles per hour, or ounces per pint to tons per bushel, or anything like that.
And if you do, I honestly always found it easier to switch to metric, do all the calculations in metric, and then convert back.
