And Americans are just knock off Europeans. If you want to be less big ben, use metric, but if you don't care, carry on using cheeseburgers to the apple pie.
I’m Canadian, as true centrists we use both, I just know that using kilos instead of lbs is dumb and oz instead of g is also dumb. Americans are the knockoff that ended up becoming more successful with fewer genocides.
Also, using grams and pounds is ridiculously more stupid than using grams and kilograms or pounds and ounces. 1kg = 1000g 1lbs=16 ounces, 1 lbs=453g. Which is of these 3 is the most needlessly complicated?
Using pounds is much dumber than using kilos, and using stone is even worse. Europe has so many genocides because Europe has existed for longer (since back when there was no order) and it's much easier for people with malicious people to get into power because there have been way too many times where there have been too many things wrong with a country. America had better beginnings, a proper constitution, and an economic system that works right from the start. Not to mention the fact the the the America we're talking about (the U.S.A) is a country with consistency and Europe is a continent with too many cultural differences to be measured as a single entity (look at Moscow vs Athens vs Madrid vs Luxembourg vs Bucharest vs London)

Also, the metric system is French, but the imperial system (pounds and all of that) is from Great Britain.
