I agree, though I am a big fan of metric too. Imperial is simply more ergonomic for the day to day. This also applies to other folk systems such as the Russian or Chinese, to avoid notions of Anglo-centrism or Euro-centrism.

If I want to drink until I’m buzzed, I’ll have 3 pints of beer, not 1.5L or (god forbid) 1500ml.

If I want to run a decent distance I’ll do 6 miles, not the gruelling sounding 10km.

If I want enough meat to make a stew, I’ll have 1 pound, not 500g or 0.5kg.

Try losing a 0 or a decimal point in base 12 as well.
