Opportunity to switch to metric lost? While I think it’s a bit dumb to not standardize, I grew up in the UK with gallons of petrol, quarters of sweets, weighed myself in stones and drank pints of beer. And none of those things are relative to each other in my head and don’t need to be standardized. They’re units of communication that work for us because we all have a common language and a context, so it’s fine. When they’re units of measurement, everything goes sideways. I’ve just about gotten to grips with fuel expressed in litres. I suspect it was only changed to make the unit price look cheaper from a distance.
