Yup and that it wouldn't be that useful for most people. It'd be a huge pain in the ass to reeducate the country too. Fools are proud. As long as the can buy milk they don't care if it's in liters or gallons.

I try to try to remember the conversions, but it's tricky and tedious. Iirc a mile is about 2.2 kilometers. A foot is shockingly close to 1/3 of a meter. 28°C is 82°F.

I don't care for the imperial system, I'm just forced to use it. Empires are bad in all forms.
