When we talk about metric and imperial units, there are some important differences we see in our daily lives:

1. Measurement System:

   • Metric: This system uses meters for length, liters for liquids, and grams for weight.
   • Imperial: This system uses feet for length, gallons for liquids, and pounds for weight.

2. Ease of Conversion:

   • Metric: It’s easy to switch between units because everything is based on 10. For example, 1 meter equals 100 centimeters.
   • Imperial: It can be tricky to remember how many inches make a foot—it's 12!

3. Familiarity:

   • In Sweden, we mainly use metric units at school and in everyday life, so it feels more normal to us.
   • The imperial system can be puzzling, especially when following recipes or measuring distance in other countries.

In conclusion, using the metric system is simpler and easier to understand!
