<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 654332, member: 66&quot;]Considering most people have ten fingers and ten toes, and we work with a base 10 number system I would say we probably have a more instinctive feeling for the metric system than the english.&nbsp; The problem is we get TRAINED early on in the English system and not the metric system.&nbsp; And then when the metric system IS introduced it is done so with a bunch of &quot;conversion factors&quot; that result in horrible numbers with a bunch of decimals that no one wants to fool with.&nbsp; This makes everyone hate the metric system,&nbsp; The key is FORGET ABOUT CONVERTING!&nbsp; There is very little reason to convert back and forth between the two systems.&nbsp; And if they started out in school teaching the kids the metric system and then introduced the english system to them several years later I guarantee you the kids will be horrified by this terrible system and clammer for the metric system.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
