11/32"? When did you last see one of those!

I can identify metric bolt sizes by sight much easier than inch sizes.  It's 
just what you are used to dealing with.
"rational, scientific and boring"
Exactly what I want for ease of use.  It's obvious that 17mm is larger than 
15mm.  I have to stop and think about 5/16 vs 11/32.  Complicated waste of 
time.  There are plenty of interesting challenges in troubleshooting 
mechanical things.  I really dislike adding unnecessary complications and 
that doesn't even get into the stupid number sizes we use for small bolts. 
10-32?

And I dislike the metric system in practical terms. I can look at a bolt and
tell you whether it is 5/16" UNF, or 3/8" BSF, or 1/2" UNC, or whatever. I
struggle to do the same with metric bolts.
Finally, the metric system is rational, scientific and boring, whereas
traditional measures are idiosyncratic
