“Decimalized currency is great for all those labcoats, but for us regular ol’ normal folk, it’s much easier to use real, easily divisible livres, which can be divided into 20 sous and subsequently into 12 deniers.”

“In fact, imperial is so great because duodecimal invites so much divisibility! What’s that? You’re saying it goes 12 –> 3 –> 1760 for length, 16 –> 2000 for units of mass, that and units of volume aren’t even consistently multiples of 4, and that pounds, short tons aren’t cleanly divisible by 3? And that not a single unit of volume is divisible by three unless you bring it down to the level of teaspoons?”

“‘Why not just switch to a fully duodecimal system if divisibility is so important to you’, you ask? Well fuck you, a foot is about as long specifically as my forearm, and there’s no way my poor, emaciated monkey brain would ever have found something similar to latch onto with SI units. ‘How many square inches is a 300 x 300 foot room?’, you ask? Well fuck you again.”
