I do find cooking easier in grams. Just put the bowl on the scale and add ingredients until it hits the number. No measuring cups to wash. But it would life changing if woodworking switched to metric. Doing any sort of exact math is annoying as hell. What is 12โ€™7โ€ divided by 4? How many 1/8โ€ is 0.55 inches?? It is my own personal hell.

Uh, you know metric has volume measurements as well, and Imperial has weight measurements? Measuring cup vs scales is not really a difference in metric and imperial.

A litre of water weighs a kilogram. When asked for 300ml of water, I can add 300g instead.

Only at sea level. Cooking with metric in the Himalayan mountains would not allow for this conversion.

+1 point to imperial /s
