A linear system would now make more sense
definitely not. it would only confuse things.
it's a bit like converting to metric. not gonna happen.
It's already happening.
definitely not. the usa tried converting to metric long ago and it did not work.
there's also nothing wrong with imperial measurements.othe rthan most of teh wold has gone metric and for a lot of things it's easier to use in calculations. But I admit I still use both and can understand both. I do find the metric system easier than remmebr what a fatham is and how long a furloing is and chains and drams, and fliud onouces and gallons, quarts, bushels, hectares, the hand, olympic swimming pools, car lenghs, Cow's grass, a football field.......
think about which country put people on the moon, put spacecraft on mars, did a flyby of pluto and landed a spacecraft on an asteroid. hint: it was a country that uses imperial measurements.http://www.space.com/3332-nasa-finally-metric.html
