Imperial lives side by side with two different names of paper where the only difference is tilting one 180 degrees.
I'm sorry but I can only lie to myself so much before I give up feet, its not worth it. "Letter" and "Tabloid" are the same.

Did you mean ledger and tabloid? And rotating 90 degrees?

One cannot expect that a metric user should engage thought in matters concerning conversions more complex than moving a decimal point (or sometimes, a comma) left or right.

metric on top anytime of the day

Imperial machining is interesting because they are practically using a metric system, just with inches instead of millimetres. Precision measurements are done in hundredths, thousandths, or ten-thousandths of an inch, and conversions are done by moving the decimal, just like in metric.
It's some kind of hybrid workflow that might be unique to machine shops

I think that we can easily convert Metric system to Imperial system and Viceversa. Living in a country which use Metric system I think that Metric system is more rational than Imperial metric system, and some discussion are reduced only to a futile patriottism

lol, pretty convincing argument with the "feet 🥵"
but I'll take metric any day. way less finnicky
