Saying 5 feets is actually faster then saying 150 centimeters or 1 meter and 50 centimeters :P. In Canada we use both system depending on the situation, officially its the metric system but for things like my example we use the imperial system.

Saying 1 metre is faster than saying 3.28 feet. You can't just pick a round number for the imperial system and thus say that it is better than the metric system, where it isn't a round number

Hence why I said we use both system depending on the situation. But since the imperial system use smaller round unit, its often faster when talking about dimension, inside 1 meter, you have 1 foot, 2 feets and 3 feets. And between, when using the imperial system you dont say 3.28 feets, you say 3 feets and a quarter ;) (3 feets and 9/32 if you need that kind of precision). 3.28 feets is like using both the metric and imperial system at the same time :P.
