But also because I find feet and inches more human-scale than meters, and out power-of-two-based volume measurements more useful for practical purposes than metric volume measurements other than liters. And I still find Fahrenheit degree measurements much more intuitive than Celsius ones.
I've lived in two countries which use the metric system, and I adapted to grams (well, really, I estimated things in 50-gram chunks), kilograms, and kilometers fine. I learned to use deciliters, centimeters, meters, and degrees Centigrade fine as well, I just hate them.

This whole thing is silly. Tucker will say anything that will keep his viewers mad at whoever, because mad people will continue to listen to whoever convinced them to be mad at other people as long as that person can keep them mad. I'm a fan of the imperial system because I don't think measurement systems need to make sense, it's how it is and I like it how it is. I'm sure I could love the metric system if I were accustomed to it, but I'm not, so I don't like it.
