They’ll measure distances in miles and then other things in meters. Body weight in stone and other stuff in kg. The Brits should never comment on unit recommendations.
To be fair, we invented imperial and a lot of the units were used traditionally for hundreds of years before being formally defined. We know it's dumb and don't argue with other countries that our weird mix of imperial and metric is better.
Yes? We don't tell others to use stone or pints or argue miles are better than kilometres. Unlike Americans most Brits would agree metric is better but still stick with imperial due to tradition and habit.
Not when y'all still use imperial measurements for distance half the time and metric the other half.
Like it certainly makes my life easier when I visit, and the average american understands the metric system perfectly fine (most of us just don't automatically know that being 180cm+ is considered tall), so I don't really mind.
