    In terms of the metric system, just tell Americans that they’re still using the occupier’s system (British redcoats). 😉

      Ugh, we’re not even. We’re using the US customary system, which uses the British words but aren’t the same values as British Imperial values. They’re actually pegged to the metric system, so if the definition of a kilometer changed, so would the definition of a mile.

      We’re using metric with extra steps. Not to mention certain products are already in metric, and everything else has the metric on it already.
