why? that was useful to me. everyone aside from the US uses metric.
interesting, but can't we use the metric system as well, plz?
Only if you aren't using the metric system ;)
Imagine knowing this, and still using the imperial system
What’s wrong with using the metric system?
The US using Imperial (British) units instead of the modern Metric ones it's a bit silly. We are using powers of ten daily. You just have to shift points in the scale.
Awesome, thanks! It's hard being a metric user in the US :P
That's what you get for not using the metric system.
Does this count as "Americans will measure with anything but the metric system"?
The SI-metric system please. Imperial units are so impractical.
