What is the actual point you're trying to make here? The parent is right, you cannot answer those questions off the top of your head, even if you can, millions, or some obscure fraction of the population cannot.
Besides, the English invented this stuff and moved on. The Americans cling to it, but it's not some special part of the American culture which requires preserving.
- mulmen 3y agoThe British did not invent the US Customary System. The US adopted the metric system decades before the British. The US already uses the metric system everywhere it matters so there’s no economic benefit to be gained. I have been clear here. If you don’t get it that’s your choice. I encourage to you look into the history and reality of metrication globally and the difference between the imperial and US customary systems. “Lol inches” is a cliche and ignorant take.
- ChatGTP 3y agoYet most tools I buy in America are still using inches, can you explain why that is ? I dislike your comments because you seem to just gloss over reality and pretend everything is as you imagine it when it's not. Every single weather report in the USA today is in Fahrenheit, is this the metric system? Every single car I drive in America is using miles, is this metric? You're delusional if you think that America actively uses the metric system.
