In fact, anything imperial. It's all totally worthless and annoying. God I hate the Americans even more now

No, it's because when you are designing a machine vice and the brief is to use inches you have to do more maths to work out engineering fits...

Plus it takes about twice as long to add dimensions together.

The ISO standard is Microns, MM, M, Km e.t.c... (European)

The ANSI standard is Inches, Feet, Yards, Miles e.t.c... (American)

I don't understand how the invented Imperial measurements, was it like "hmmm, how many inches shall we fit into a foot? 10? Noooo, that would make far too much sense I'll use the first number that came into my head... 12!..."
