Just because you're to fucking dumb to do the conversions doesn't mean all Americans are.
Non-American's are the only people who are so butthurt over the fact that we don't use 100% Metric.

15% of a pound is 3.02kg to you? Wtf?
My point was in metric if I want to say 15% of a kg I say 150grams in a second.
In imperial if you want to say 15% of a pound you do math and it takes you longer.
Its not about me not understanding it, its about system where conversions are done in a split second and a system where you have to WORK math doing a conversion.
Your "logic" is like this:
a system is better than b system, but since we understand b system there is no point to switch to a system. Pretty stupid for a programmer.
