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.
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.
The USA has numerous specifications for mechanical components, specified in metric units. This includes nuts, bolts. bearings, structural steel, sheet metal. All of these specifications are required because metric components are in extensive use. Many of the components in your computer use metric dimensions etc. Whether you like it or not, the metric system is creeping up on you. --
