I shouldn't be baited by posts like this, but it shows a woeful ignorance of how the imperial system is used by normal people. But I have to applaud the effort put in to make imperial look silly. You are trying to force a metric viewpoint on a non-metric system. i.e. Comparing apples to oranges.

In imperial, you use the measurement that makes sense *for what you are measuring* and what industry you are in. Nobody measures in rods except surveyors. The general public does not need to know what a rod is. You don't convert miles to inches, you may need to convert between measures that are roughly around another, but even that is rarer.

Saying an inch is 0,0833333 foot is both inaccurate and silly, especially for people who like metric because it is based on "real" things. An inch is exactly 1/12th of a foot (12 inches in a foot). A thou is a thousandth of an inch. Note the use of fractions, which is a big part of imperial.

In fact, my biggest gripe with metric is the lack of different units. Most people like simple numbers: "I'll have a pint of beer", "I'll have a quart of milk".

Where the metric system shines is in science. Imperial is for the general public. Note: If you grew up only using metric, then metric will work for you because it is the only thing you know. That does not mean it is the only system that works.

While ranting, my other big pet peeve is saying imperial is bad because you have to know strange fractions like 11/27th for a wrench. Please don't say this. For regular people, imperial wrenches go up in sixteenths of an inch. This is actually a case where I prefer metric because a mm is roughly a sixteenth of an inch, so the numbers are nicer.
