Metric uses Base 10. Imperial uses no base.
Metric is used in science. Imperial is not used in science
Metric is used in all but 1. Imperial is used in none but 1

So that still does not make them any less arbitrary and useless. Can you get perfectly precise measurements with the imperial system?
Uh, yes, considering there are infinitely many digits one can measure to. It just depends on how many decimals you want in your measurement, which shouldn't be too bothersome of you're a man of science.
But can we talk about how utterly useless a temperature scale based in water is for conveying weather?

0 is freezing 100 is boiling very simple and useful. Unlike 32 freezing and 212 boiling wth

Yes, Liberia and Myanmar also use the imperial system
Liberia is logical, because they were under America for a period of time, but Myanmar?
