Fractions are also way harder to understand if you need to [g]et precise

Not gonna lie, if you are working with carpentry or sewing or similar construction or creative work, you probably shouldn't have any issues with fractions...

Just try adding 1/3 and 5/8. In my field fractions like that are nowhere near precise enough anyways, so you'd need to work with thousands of inches, which just makes you wish there was a smaller unit like millimeters
