What? How is feet and pounds more intuitive? To me metric is more intuitive and imperials are whole another language, because I only learnt metric in school and only remember very few things in imperial (such as some dimensions on specific parts of bicycles).
Converting yards to inches in your head is near damn impossible, but you don't even need to count to know 5.25km is 5250m or 525000cm
