This tutor is very good. A bit speedy in his lessons but very good nonetheless.

wondering who wrote these "cons" for metric and "pros" for imperial (specially this one: "most of the world is already using it")

Why is the metric system used by most of the world?
Over the past century, the system was steadily adopted by most countries. A universal standard of measurement made it easier for countries to engage in international trade, exchange information and cooperate more generally.

I gotta get very familiarized with the metric system. I will watch this lesson on Saturday or Sunday. By the way, I will post lots of threads moving forward. However, you do not need to answer all the questions in one day. Take your time. No rush at my end nor should there be a rush at your end of the table. I will now post Section 4.2 questions. Reply when time allows. It is not my objective to drive you bunkers.

I left the military over 20 years ago. Yes, we used the metric system at the NTC Electrician's Mate "A" School in Great Lakes, Illinois.
