Holy fuck I already told you I like the number 12 more than 10.

What you're saying is great. But it would be cool if Imperial actually consistently used 12 instead of using it - and I can't stress this enough - once. Can you tell me how many feet are in a ¼ mile off the top of your head? If you can, most Americans can't. Most American don't even know that the number of feet in a full mile is 5280 for some fucking reason. That's not a power of 12. In fact in terms of multiples of 12 it's 12×440. What the fuck? That's not even like, 12×12×3 or something even remotely reasonable. There's a multiple of 11 in there. That's a fucking nightmare!

And with cooking it gets to the point where you're just bombarded with fractions and 3s and 4s and 8s and sixteenths and good god it's a mess. Stop kidding yourself. A measuring system with the consistency of metric but based on base 12 would truly be better than both systems, and imperial isn't even close.
