    Not only round numbers, but 0 and 100!

    0 is obviously a very distinct number.

    We use 100 for percentages, money, and all sorts of things.

    As someone who wasn’t raised in the imperial system, I always have to try to remember if it’s 32 or 34. I doubt anyone who hears about the metric system is wondering whether it’s 0 or something else like 2 or 10 or whatever.
