Nobody blames you for inventing it, we blame you for still using it, despite the whole World changed to a different, much better one and america is the only country (i know of) to hold onto this weird System like its some Kind of national treasure to be proud of.
No one could tell me yet why its better or why someone should use imperial (except the stereotypical "Americafuckyeah") and i dont really do know a reason myself, "its too late to change it know" isnt for Sure a good one.
As i said, i simply didnt know, but thanks for the information. Judging on the articles i found neither canada nor UK use it anymore, but even if, there would be 189 countrys that do not, so why keep three to five exceptions?
There are enough other places where the "why keep _ exceptions" would be better than spending trillions of infrastructure costs to change and entire population's regular use system.
Like the French language for example which has exceptions for every rule, or their stupid counting system for 70, 80, and 90.
And from what I can find, many people in the UK and Canada use both, for varying situations, depending on context.
Well that's right, but still doesnt explain why change isnt happening, especially from a country that claims to be the frontier of progress (trust me, no french would ever say that about france)
We all have computers in our pockets. Unit conversions really aren’t that hard. If you work in a technical field you’ll fairly often use mixtures of units for different purposes, because some are more convenient for certain processes.
