Hyperlynx posted:You still do not use the metric system. this is a goofy criticism because americans use the metric system where it matters. in science, engineering, the military, etc. people use the metric system. metric is taught in american schools. all american food packaging is labeled in imperial and metric. it's just that in day to day life people still use imperial mostly because of cultural inerta and at that point who cares

I don't want to have to get out the converter on my phone just to understand what you're on about when you tell me you get X miles to the gallon, eat a pound of cake or drink an ounce of coffee. You might as well be talking Martian. learn to tolerate cultural differences, bigot
