Jan 8, 2017 at 6:20 comment added Tang Ho Oh, yes, I was thinking of ' the decimal system in the metric units' . Compare to the imperial units (16 oz in one pond, 3 feet in one yard). which may seems too random to other countries.
Jan 8, 2017 at 5:47 comment added NS.X. @TangHo the metric system is a measuring system which employs decimal as it's number system, but decimal does not represent metric system in any way, neither have I heard anyone use it that way.
Dec 30, 2016 at 10:21 comment added Tang Ho Since there's only one system, the metric system (十进制) is accepted as the international standard, 公制 (common system) can only refer to the 'metric system'. Unless the world agree to change the default measurement system from metric to other system.
Dec 30, 2016 at 10:04 comment added Tang Ho The metric system is "international standard" or rather "common standard". Different country uses different measurement units, when they work together on joint ventures where a common measurement system is needed, the default system will be metric. Just like US dollars in international trade and GMT in time zone. The other translation for metric system is 十进制
