I get that Europeans like it because they're faggots, but when an American says they want to switch to metric it seems like such a betrayal.

@alcade Metric doesn't have an equivalent to feet which makes it awkward to measure the height of people. Either you are hundreds of centimeters tall or 1 or two meters tall.

Imperial measurement names also just roll of the tongue better. "Don't move an inch" sounds better than "don't move a centimeter".

@xianc78 @alcade "awkward to measure" bro, you have to combine two completely separate units to sensibly measure height

@applejack @alcade People do the same thing with time (eg 1 minute 3 seconds).
