Besides, it's much
easier to measure 0.625 meters on a bilingual yardstick, or meter stick,
then
it is to measure 2.05 feet. It's also easier then doing the additional
math
that you suggest.

Yes, but I don't have a tape measure that reads in meters.

Poor boy. Or only just lazy?
Just make some additinal markings on a measuring stick you have...
.....or do some maths. 1 inch is 2.54cm.

They tried that here in the early 1980's, didn't work. We're too used to
feet, inches, & miles. No use for centimeters, hetimeters or kilometers.
