I disagree. Once you've been taught a base ten counting system, units that change based on orders of magnitude is very easy to understand. Since almost everyone has a base ten counting system internalized, metric is MUCH easier.

But 12 is evenly divisible in thirds and quarters. Actually pretty useful for a bunch of things. Really it's just too bad we have 10 fingers instead of 12.

Yep, but 10 fingers is what most of us have. I like 12 too but unless you can persuade people to start counting in astrological symbols instead of decimal digits then metric is the way to go.
