It's stunning to see people debating "ease-of-understanding" of the base 12 imperial system while at the same time happily using a decimal based currency (nearly?) all over the world.
It's easy to understand construction and cooking concepts in imperial? But you just used a decimal based currency to buy the materials for the said uses, and could easily add up the costs of those materials in your head instead of staring blankly at the cashier who was trying to add 77 shillings and 23 half-crowns.
