Oi, metric is awesome! There is nothing practical about a system of measurement that uses as its base the length of some dead English guy's foot. (There is in fact some historical basis for this, but let's not let pedantry get in the way of a good rant, eh?).
Metric just makes sense. And as a sort of math-challenged person, it is infinitely easier to convert from, say, kilometres to centimetres simply by moving the decimal.
