Since the site hosts various countries throughout the world, I would like to get everyone opinions on what they use for measurement. I'll start it off. I personally like the metric system better because it's much simpler and you don't have to remember nutty names like mile and gallon. This is also because I drink 2-liter sodas everyday :o . Now it's your turn to submit your opinions below.

I sort of like the American System. I don't really like the metric system.

The metric system is much more easier to remember, as there are differing values for every unit. (as in 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard)

I say metric system because it's used universally throughout the world as opposed to one single country, making it more practical.
