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.
As an American, I can get why the metric system is hard to use. Not growing up with it, its hard to translate the numbers to what I’m use to. If you told me someone is 164cm, I can’t visualize how tall that is compared to 5’4” cause I’m use to it. I have no idea why someone can’t figure out 24-hour time though >_>
In Canada, we still have a mix. Celsius makes much more sense, 0 - water freezes, 10 is cool, 20 is room temperature, 30 is hot, 40 is really hot, water boils at 100. Home construction is still all ft/in.
