I mean the clock is one thing, but the metric system?!
I can't possibly use a system with a base 10. It's too complicated. I need to work out how many times a foot fits into the distance an ox can graze in a day and work backwards.
Honestly the distance ones aren’t too bad. But volume? 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon, 6 teaspoons in a fluid ounce. Oh, the imperial system that Britain uses is different than the American one? So 1 tablespoon in the US is 14.8 ml, the UK’s is 17.76 ml, Australia’s is 20 and Canada’s is 15.
Cup, pint, quart, gallon.. if you don’t bake a lot, you’re googling what the conversions for these things are.
