    The thing is that outside of North America people aren’t terrified to death of decimals. We actually use them and find the process simple. So those factors of yours are completely irrelevant to us.

      Sounds like your terrified of duodecimals. Base 12 number systems are better at somethings than base 10 and a number of mathematicians believe it’s a superior number system all round and easier to teach to young people. And metric would work equally well in theory with either base 10 or base 12.
