Can be, in dutch one of the words for speed is vaart, in German one of them is fahrt. It comes from a common old germanic word, as all those languages are decendents of old germanic. English is only partly germanic from origin (the other parts are celtic and latin) so some word or meaning of wordt are twisted a bit from the original.

And somehow nobody ever came up with a Metric clock....

And somehow nobody ever came up with a Metric clock....

Time is already metric, the S.I. unit is seconds. You talk about milliseconds and microseconds, don't you? You don't say 1/32 second or 1/128 second.

It's only minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months which are not metric. We can't do anything about "years" since that is defined in "days".

There should be thirteen 28 day months. New years day could be a standalone day or two for leap years. Also September, October, November, and December should be the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth months.

As opposed to what they are now ?

Das metrische System ist für diejenigen, die zum Zählen ihre Finger benutzen müssen.
