but is capable of interchanging between Imperial and Metric without a fuss.
Think you will find it is just the EU and everywhere else that makes fun of US for imperial system. Luckily the Brits stay under the radar so no one picks on them about it.
And gallons
And we don’t need bananas for scale
Right someone get the chart.
Out of those I only use mph, the others I have no understanding of in the slightest.
And I only use mph because all the speed limits use it
I’m nearly 50, and I was taught in school kilos for weights and meters for lengths. Yes miles are on my car, but so are the signs so what can I do about it? For smaller sizes it’s metric, and unlike the Yanks, I can use either.
I’m happy with metric though, it’s so much easier to use. 100ml of water is also 100g in weight. How simple do you need it and dealing with fractions of it?
I don’t criticise the Yanks though- I just pity them.
I’m sorry we don’t measure things in football fields.
My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that’s the way I likes it.
We don’t use yards
I’ll drink a pint to that
We invented the imperial system, where do you think it got its name…
