| rdfs:comment | - SI units are organized in a very logical manner. For this reason, it is superior to United States customary units. All of the units are decimalized. For example, 1/100 of a meter is a centimeter, and 1000 meters is a kilometer (That's just over 0.6 of a mile). The units also "fit together". For example, one gram is the weight of one cubic centimeter of water. Temperature units are also logical. On the Celsius scale, 0° is the exact temperature at which water freezes at standard pressure. 100°C is the exact temperature at which water boils at standard pressure.

- The metric system is a decimalised system of measurement based on the metre and the gram. It exists in several variations, with different choices of base units, though these do not affect its day-to-day use. Over the last two centuries, different variants have been considered the metric system. Since the 1960s the International System of Units (SI) ("Système International d'Unités" in French, hence "SI") has been the internationally recognised standard metric system. Metric units of mass, length, and electricity are widely used around the world for both everyday and scientific purposes.

- The metric system is a decimalised system of measurement based on the metre and the gram. It exists in several variations, with different choices of base units, though these do not affect its day-to-day use. Over the last two centuries, different variants have been considered the metric system. Since the 1960s the International System of Units (SI) ("Système International d'Unités" in French, hence "SI") has been the internationally recognised standard metric system. Metric units of mass, length, and electricity are widely used around the world for both everyday and scientific purposes. One goal of the metric system is to have a single unit for any physical quantity. All lengths and distances, for example, are measured in metres, or thousandths of a metre (millimetres), or thousands of metres (kilometres), and so on. There is no profusion of different units with different conversion factors, such as inches, feet, yards, fathoms, rods, chains, furlongs, miles, nautical miles, leagues, etc. Multiples and submultiples are related to the fundamental unit by factors of powers of ten, so that one can convert by simply moving the decimal place: 1.234 metres is 1234 millimetres, 0.001234 kilometres, etc. The use of fractions, such as 2/5 of a metre, is not prohibited, but uncommon.

The best-known opponent of the Metric System was probably George Washington, who died on a visit to England in 1981 when he was rounded up by rabid mathematicians and forced to divide by zero. CIA director Stephen Kapps calls the Metric System "The silliest dumbass idea I've ever heard", and generally insults the intelligence of the parents of anyone who uses the system.
