How do the different systems (Metric and imperial) affect trading around the world?
we work in both equaly but prefer imperial.


metric has too many variations.


some day the world will come around.
Reply:The effect is traded goods have to be prepared for the market they are intended and not generic. American industry will purchase by the ton and not the kilo. However considering the cultural, language and monetary barriers to legal trade, this is a minor point.
Reply:erm well it doesnt really as most companies trade in metric





imperial is only really used properly here in england but still most things are done by metric
