SI uses base 10, just like our number system, so it is much easier to learn, remember and convert between units.

Is English easier to learn than spanish?

English is no easier to learn than Spanish, or any other language of the Indo-European group that uses Latin letters, since for languages that use some alphabet other than the Latin one, you also have to go through learning a new alphabet. If you speak a lot of Germanic languages, English would be easier to learn than Spanish, but for someone who speaks more Romance languages, Spanish would be much easier to learn. It's all in what you already know language-wise as to whether or not you find a language difficult--besides, for English, you have to deal with far more vocabulary and a more complex system of grammar.

Is French easier to learn than English?

It depends what other languages you speak. French is certainly much more regular than English--it has the Académie française (French Academy) to thank for that. English also had one of the largest vocabularies of all the languages in the world, making it easier to learn on a basic level, but harder to become fluent in.


Why do scientists in the US use SI rather than the English system of measurements?

SI is used worldwide. As scientists, many of their ideas are going to be shared with colleagues within the US and overseas. Therefore, it's easier to use SI in order to keep the conversions to a minimum.
