I'm done with American Imperial measures. Every time I come across them now, I stop reading, and read something else.
If you're not willing to convert from your dumbass Imperial measurements to metric, that literally the rest of the world uses, I'm not willing to put the effort in to read your nonsense.
FYI: a "customary unit" is metric, not fucking American Imperial. Calling your Imperial system "customary" is like calling it the "World Series" when only one country competes
Serious question. Does it help if I also provide the metric value? 🤷♀️
@janetlogan 100%, both shows you're trying to communicate with the world. 😁
When the rest of the world reads a sentence, and comes across American Imperial measures in it, it's like having to do a maths problem mid-sentence 😖
So... if I'm writing a novel set in the US and I say that someone drives eight miles, you'd stop reading?
Huh. Okay.
When you read novels set in ancient China, do you require they use metric measurements, or can they use li and cun?
Not arguing about measurements, just here to remind you the Toronto Blue Jays exist and have won 2 World Series.
