Because as Americans we're free to use imperial or metric. We just prefer imperial.

>>38709783
It's because the world is measured in imperial, not metric.

I'm not saying it's better though, metric should be the universal unit and I hate that the US hasn't completely converted. Makes me feel like I'm part of a dumber society

>actually expects them to not use imperial
As the saying goes: when in Rome...

Learning metric is stupid easy though so what's the big deal if you have to learn it

???

UK here. No problem thinking or converting between both. It's strange how I mix and match some things though. All of our road distances are in miles but if I'm running I'll measure km. when talking about height and weight it's height in feet and inches and weight in kg. Cocks are always measured in inches as well.

Even if America did convert, it would be a long arduous process. All of the tools and devices that use imperial can't magically change over night.

We started a god damn war over a tax on a breakfast drink, and not even the good one.

When you're that much of a prick, you can use yards and acres all you want.

We gave you all the religious retards that wanted to fuck their own family members.

Penises should be measured in cm because it gives you a much larger number.

I like using standard measurement for organic things, like I'm 5'10" and 165lbs and the outside temperature is 100 degrees (Fahrenheit is awesome, btw, because the range is "too fucking cold" to approximate body temperature)

I prefer using metric for more precise, scientific things where I'm trying to measure objectively instead of subjective human experience. It bothers me that construction is done in standard because it's more complicated than using metric. This, of course, is changing because now Mexicans do all the construction.

Mohammed? Do you want to offend the big prophet?

Why don't frogs or krauts just speak english?.

Americans use US Standard because it works and it's ours. There is no right and wrong in this. You want to post in french mass-units go at it. I'm sticking with 'murrican force-units (fuck the uk and their 8 stone hundredweight)

Fuck off with your cultural imperialism.

Because even in Canada no one actually talks about height and weight using the metric system. i weigh 167lb, no clue what that translates to and i dont care

In the UK you can tell whether someone lifts if they tell you their weight in kg as opposed to stone and pounds or some other shit.

>>38711240

that's 11st 13lbs
