Metric yes please. Also for fucks sake use the 24 hour clock. Some of us learned it from the military but it’s just earth time and way easier than adding letters to a number
I switched to it in my later teens when I realised how many cases it would be better in.
Conversion during conversation might be an extra step, but I'll be pushing for the next generation to have this by default.
Also, much better when using for file names.
Also, YYYY-MM-DD. There's a reason why it is the ISO

The conversion is pretty much the only hurdle I ever hear about, but that’s easy enough. How many songs/films talk about “if I could rewind the last 12+12 hours”…it’s just a matter of making it fit in context people can understand when they know a day is 24 but are used to 12.
ISO and while we’re at it, the NATO phonetic alphabet for English speakers. “A as in apple B as in boy” means fuck all when you’re grasping for any word that starts with that letter, and if English isn’t your first language fuckin forget about it.
err... didn't get what you're trying to say
We standardized an alphabet among all countries for clear communication.
Here is an example of it going wrong.
I'm pretty sure that's an example of why you should use the chosen ones instead of going "mancy/nancy" all over the place.
Also, didn't they just make a standard for themselves and other just took it because it was probably easier than making one for their own language (oh right, NATO... but let's be honest here, NATO is just a forum for America to flaunt its power while PR-ing peaceful, so it makes sense they use English, which is also easier to be a second language than most other ones).
Though I feel like China might have made their own.
