I think it'll take those UN peacekeepers to pull that off. Carter tried, didn't work too good. I remember having to learn it in school.

It's a more "clean" design but it's not like inches doesn't work fine. It's intuitive for us and you can most certainly be precise b/c you use decimals anyway for anything that needs it that much.

There are other keyboard designs more efficient than QWERTY. You'll notice no one is changing. Switching costs are high and what we have works fine.
