    I love the metric system and think we should all use it, but 12 (inches in a foot) and 16 (ounces in a pound) both have more factors than 10.

    I still think metric is the best system, but I wish our ancestors had used base 12 counting so we could all use a base 12 metric system and everyone’s life would be better.
