I don't mind metric except in reference to length and in cooking. The centimeter is way too fucking small a unit to be measuring people's height in, sorry. And I do not enjoy requiring a scale in my kitchen in order to measure things instead of just leveling it in a damn cup.
Fix those two things, and metric and I would be gravy.

Buh, no I'm 5'8 and I still have a hard time. I wear a size 2-4, but I'm taller than your average twiggy 14 year old, however 'long' sizes' are about two inches too long(Because they're meant for girls 5'10ish+)
I think that girls that are about 5'5, 120lbs have the best time. But then again, Jean shopping is stressful for every woman

But a cup is not very precise! A cup can be many different sizes, and what if you need like..8/10ths of a cup? And as for height, meters work fine as well. 1,61meters instead of 161cm, but both of them are nice, because they're more precise than feet and inches. Plus, people's heights aren't exactly the only thing measured length-wise.

Dril, I was all :-o she must be anorexic until I remembered that in places that aren't the United Kingdom they size in small.
I'm around 5'3 and I'm maybe a bit bustier than most people my height but otherwise fairly average, and I'm a size 10-12.
Aren't cups, in terms of baking anyway, a specific size? And you have to buy them specially?

i'm a lot shorter than 5'9". i make tommy look tall, remember?
manda: centimeters are a lot easier than inches once you get used to them. 100 centimeters = 1 meter. easier to calculate than 12 inches = 1 foot.
