    You can use both without using them in the same project. Yes, I understand how conversions work.

    You can make the same argument going the other way. Isn’t is complicated to go from metric to imperial? May as well just use imperial! See, it’s not a good argument.

      well my point was to make those calculations using only imperial units, not randomly go between metric and imperial. Metric calculation was there to just illustrate how it would go using metric units.

        It’s wonderful that this one single example is easier to handle in metric than imperial. It doesn’t negate my point which is that any human with a functioning brain can use either one depending on the circumstance, and the idea that you need to pick one or the other is a smooth brained take.
