People that don't work with length measurements have no opinion here. Imperial is much easier to work with construction because there's less conversions as things are always measured in feet and inches, with metric you have to convert meters to centimeters to millimeters and even though it's just moving a decimal place it's really annoying. Plus if you're north American every building code is made up in imperial and then got converted to metric, so have fun remembering 1 foot = 305 mm and other conversions for that one job that decided to use metric because fuck you. Of course metric is better for more precise measurements, but thats more of machining thing like for engines or other stuff like that, but imperial is used more with more common trades. Like with carpentry, they call it a 2x4 not a 52x104 because that would be retarded.
