We bamboozled ourselves. The Brits woke up to the fact the metric system was better and changed. Sure they still have their idiots who like the old system there but they ignore them. Whereas here we let that small minority rule. That is why we are using a broken old system and why we are the only country that is. Because we let the stupid rule in order to beat some imagined enemy.

Screw both. If you don't measure temperature in Kelvin don't talk to me.

We are supposed to use metric here in my country, but because of American influence, we use imperial.

What flag is that?

It looks similar to an inverted Union flag but one of the red stripes is in the wrong place.

Yeah, we got bigger problems.

The UK can pretend all they want, but they ain't part of the metric club.
