Metric makes more matematical "sense" than conventional measurement, and it
is perhaps easier for most people to use decimals rather than fractions
(decimals are just "easier" fractions, they are still fractions). However,
I don't cook because it makes "mathematical" sense, I cook/bake because I
enjoy the process and the finished product.

The government/French or anyone else telling me how I am supposed to measure
stuff because it is "better" takes the enjoyment out of it.
