The metric system is the opposite of the US Imperial system.

I am in Australia, and I use the metric system.

I think that Metric is easier because it is more equal and are rounded numbers.

For example, to measure a plank of wood in the Imperial system, you would say "15 inches" or "one a bit foot" Where as we would say it is "point something of one meter" or "38 centimeters".

Other examples include that 100oC is the boiling temperature for water..a nice round number..where as 212oF in Imperial...also its 0 degree Celcius for freezing, and 32 in farenhieght.

I guess it is easy to use because it is more simple, rounded numbers.
