We’ve been teaching both the metric and imperial system for a very long time now.
Did they learn the speed of light in miles per hours until then ?
Amerika has fallen to the globo-homo agenda.
Sad.
I only use imperial for driving. I don't even know what a fucking cup is exactly.
Metrix is cool, I mean we have 10 fingers amirite?
However, its going to be tough moving all those county roads 1 click apart rather than 1 mile apart.
I'd like to see it attempted though.
Shhhhh they don’t know
No. Anything science related uses metric.
They already tried ca. 1980
They were too dumb

>the pilots apparently thought the figure for fuel weight on board was in kilograms when it was really pounds. Since one kilogram equals 2.2 pounds, the plane took off with about half the fuel that it should have had.
le systeme le internassionale le?
That’s a funny way to say the economy tanked and we didn’t feel like spending all the money to replace the hundreds of thousands of road signs at that moment
Based Trump
yeah, and
Omelette du fromage
football fields per second
obsessed freak
They're gonna end up like western Canada
We're taught metric but we don't really use any of it except for kilometers and sometimes liters.
Ah yes, cups per mile
The imperial system was do funny to me when I was a child watching discovery channel, I legitimately believe the imperial system worked like this until I was 9.
Inches < feet < yard < school bus < boing 737 < Texas
I found out like a month ago that apparently only Swedes and Norwegians refer to 10 kilometres a "mile".
Really fucked me up, I though all metric countries did that.
>take a left after 2 cups and 1/4 tablespoon
Isn't that what happens in Britain? They still use inches, feet, pounds and even stones.
You forgot Olympic swimming pool and (ameri)football field.
I think they use them interchangeably in most cases but all the bongs I've talked to seem to favour metric
Any rational individual would.
>Any rational individual would
True; but we're talking about the country that produced Brexit, here.
Yeah, I fucked up
Metric is gay
Wtf even is a meter
NOOOOO the jews are winning again!
1000 millimeters
I resist metric purely because it was forced on us by Pierre
Otherwise I really don't care one way or the other
Use them for different things out of tradition mostly. Height is ft, speed is mph, you buy pints, that kind of stuff
the lengh of light travels in a vacuum at 1/299792458 of a second
Wow this is so useful so much more sensible than feet how did I live without it
