        The US usually consistently uses imperial, which sucks but it’s consistent. England switches between the two constantly. They’re crazy people, and they use measures like “stone” for weight sometimes too. Metric is obviously the better system, but consistency is better than randomly deciding which to use when.

      It’s funny that Europeans complain about Americans being dumb but also can’t comprehend converting units of measurement.

        We could, but why should we? I can easily switch between grams, kilograms and tonnes. Hell I can tell you that 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram. I am not going to deal with gallons per square inch of pounds
