    We use decimal inches in machine shops, that’s a metric system.

    SI though, that’s what gets people mad.

      Except for some reason you didn’t come up with your own units for:

      • electric potential difference
      • electric charge
      • electric current
      • resistance
      • capacitance
      • inductance
      • magnetic flux
      • amount of substance
      • radioactivity

          It’s not compatible with their other units. E.g. 1 tesla = 1 Ns/Cm, but imperial uses poundfeet instead of newtons and feet instead of meters. Dimensional analysis with incompatible units is folly.
