Kabam need to learn that giving an inch means that people will try and take a mile.
Canadians amirite
It's the rest of the world ****
yeah I know. we have some dumb shiz in the us. a lot of it
like Fahrenheit
At least the US is consistent with its imperial measurements.
The UK doesn't know if it wants to use Imperial or Metric, so it does both to much confusion.
"Oh I weigh 64kg!" "Yeah I used to weigh 10 stone too" "Man, I miss being 141lbs" "Shall we go for a pint down the pub?" "Nah I've got a 500ml bottle of coke, I'm good" "Yeah we gotta stay 2 meters apart anyway" "Man that's a whole Jimmy distance apart, and he's 6ft6!"
Actually the US is not consistent either, as by law metric units are the preferred but voluntary units, and many places have adopted metric (the military, for example, leans heavily metric as does most scientific industries).
The most 'murican thing the US has done with the metric system is during the gas crunch in the 1970s gas stations started selling gas by the liter instead of by the gallon, because it was cheaper to convert gas pumps to pump by liter increments than to change them to display prices higher than one dollar per gallon (because that added an additional digit to the price). As soon as prices returned to normal, they stopped doing that.
We also crashed a hundred million dollar spacecraft into Mars because the spacecraft used both metric and imperial units, shrugged our shoulders, and just kept on Americaing on.
