What? Engineering notation is the preferred notation even for metric. It's suited to numbers in general. You can (and should) even use it without units. There's literally nothing complicated about it. If you can do decimal you can do engineering notation.
Understanding the reasons to use one over the other is the point. And there is no logical reason to ever use metric. It's entire invention is a sham and it's promoted by people who are too dim to understand the underlying problem. Which is why it solves nothing other than to add another layer of bullshit to existing metrology.
Which is bad enough, but to believe and then say out loud that metric is good for "big numbers," demonstrates that you are firmly within this category of people.
So we went from "its only used by nerds!" to "engineering notations are the superior form of all numbers."
That's how I know you have no point. You are just saying things to look and sound smarter than you are.
You provided an example showing exactly how useless your notation would be in any form except academia and text. Its seven fucking syllables. Something impossibly useless to yell across a jobsite, the thing Imperial was designed and made for, and Metric can take up its slack of not having incredibly large or small units in the cases its needed.
I might have use for a 2mm drillbit, and that is an easy thing to both say, hear, and write.
Which is where you would find very small numbers and very large numbers.
Would you find very large or very small numbers there? Would you suddenly switch to metric to make that easier? Stop being intentionally retarded.
This is just a retarded thing to say. Sorry you're so butthurt you have to twist words to try to win. I'm making a simple easy to follow point. You're trying to not lose. It makes you sound and look stupid.
"I have a 3/32nds drillbit."
Do you have a clue or did a random example made for demonstration purposes blow your mind so badly you still can't cope?
I said something as simple as "it has its uses at times." You found this so enraging you cannot even live with the very idea without sperging.
That's okay, you can win this one. It seems to matter a whole lot to your pride.
