1) They're easy.
2) When all your machine shop equipment and tooling is in Imperial units, that's what's practical.
Ditto, but now I have to use metric becuase I work in the automotive supplier chain now....
Its weird, I learn metric as a kid in Taiwan, used metric throughout schools in Canada(still remember the dread that when the prof says there will be question in english unit). Yet I did all my FSAEs in imperial, uses AN/Mil-spec stuff in imperial, and learn all my machining in imperial. So now when I am designing stuff, I think in inches/psi because thats how I make things...Its hard to change back.
