Country: | it's far easier to estimate larger things (bigger than an inch) in imperial measurement, in my opinion atleast, much easier! plus if i'm working on the farm with my dad guiding him back in a tractor or something he'd look at me with  if i said "ok you can come back annother 60cm" no, i'd say "ok you've got annother 2 feet"
