Consistency.

Human reads by scanning and we pick up numbers way quicker than reading the entire sentence.

Most of the planet uses the Metric System. So why does the system default to imperial units?

Solution #1: Metric Units by default
Written by ll the 5 Mar 08 at 15:06.
Make A4 the default paper size for printing, only two countries don't use it. Most people don't know what inches are so cm or mm should be the default.

Alternatively when installing Ubuntu and you select regional settings, it should recommend imperial/metric depending on user input. But it should ask you to confirm and allow you to change them if these are not what you want.

System defaults should be set by the user during install. It should function like the selection of the keyboard. You select your country then out of a list it selects the most likely keyboard you have but you still have to confirm that choice. My point is that it should ask me to confirm or change the units I want to use during install.

Solution #2: Setup recommends default based on regional settings
Written by 1337hippo the 19 Jan 09 at 15:42.
I like the idea, but think it's just angry posts on ubuntuforums waiting to happen :)

Instead, when installing Ubuntu and you select regional settings, it should recommend imperial/metric depending on user input.
