SaraMGY'all, America desperately needs to embrace the metric system.
Fer reals.
Jim Goodall@saramg There are only three countries in the entire world NOT using metric.
Liberia
Myanmar
United States
America is in good company.
Scott Williams 🐧@jimgoodall @saramg When the English and Aussies weigh themselves in "stone", which metric system are they using?
@vwbusguy @saramg
Stone predates metric.
I'm Canadian and use both imperial and metric, because I'm old enough.
Try being in Canada and measuring distances in hours driven.
Construction measurements are metric, but when you measure yourself, it's feet and inches.
Shipping weight is metric, but a person's weight is pounds.
Weather temperature is Celcius, but normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees.
It's a bizarre mix.
