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

@sortius there’s a couple of places where it’s reasonably unavoidable. You know I spend a reasonable amount of time in one of those situations where everything is in ft, although the miles aren’t “statutory” so it ends up being different still 😂

@lilstevie yeh, for sure, and even then, Europe doesn't work on ft anyway, nor does the military

@sortius Europe does, only Russia and China use m for altitude

@lilstevie I thought Europe uses both. I know China is 100% "if you don't know M, GTFO", but I didn't realise Russia was, too
