I'm either going to be british, or french. I can't quite tell. There's too many guns to tell where the official border is.

Either way, I'm good with this.

......wait, am I going to have to learn metric? OH HELL NO!!!

If you end up Br*tish, you'll have to find out what 'stones' weigh and report back to the non-insane part of the world.

Using pounds to infinity, but not stones, is like measuring everything in grams only.

How many stones can you pound into a ton?

One if it's big enough?

Everywhere except the place where they measure things in stones

Stone isn't that hard to convert to pounds. It's like a fortnight, but for weight.

Still use pounds though.

Because they conquered the world for spice yet refuse to season their food

If you become British, at least the size of your pint will increase by about ⅕.
