To be fair, Imperial it's a base 12 compared to Metric which is a base 10. The nice thing about a base 12 is you can divide it by 3 or 2 which is easier for day to day things. I'm sure also having uneducated masses made base 12 easier when you could do conversions of 3 or 2 units which is easier to understand.
