Goddamn I thought you had reading comprehension for a second there, my mistake.
The best solution is a hybrid system, which *we* already use…
and
…if you are in a country that already used metric, guess what your time keeping system is from? From the older imperial system!
Here is an article for metric time: metrictime.info
Does that look that look like the classic 24 hours in a day system most people use? No? Congrats than you learned something today.
I’m from the EU (Spain), they are 100% in the metric system, but the Imperial system is certainly difficult to kill, for reasons I don’t know, used in Nautics, Air Traffics and curiously also in Plumbing, where tubes are still in inches. The biggest drawback in the Imperial system is that it leads to errors (NASA crashed 2 Mars probes because of it, before changing to the metric system), it’s because the different units don’t have any relations among these and are complete arbitrarily, which difficult a lot of precise calculations. Never was a good idea to use the bodyparts of a death King as measure units.
If you want people who use imperial then don’t be an asshole and alienate them. But if you are gonna be an asshole at least be right about the thing you are talking about. I know metric time is largely forgotten but at least have a basic understanding of you want to talk shit.
