Why are there angry European posts and comments on this every freaking day as if each and every one of us who live under the American system of weights and measurements are personally responsible for implementing and keeping the system?
I'm comfortable in either format.
It doesn't chafe my balls to talk in metric or to see signs or containers in metric. Why does every god damned European feel like they're missing out on diaper powder every time an American talks about miles or fahrenheit?
Who hurt you? What damage does this really cause you?
Are there no other fucking issues that matter? We're gonna blow this whole fucking planet up if Jim Bob in Missouri doesn't start talking in liters God damnit!
I kinda thought the title made it clear I was an American.
The subject in and of itself is just exhausting
then you can't claim you're not responsible for keeping the system. the fact that you get exhausted by merely seeing someone say "hey metric would be nice" is why you won't change. not just this but a ton of archaic stuff everyone else in the world has moved on from.
