Everyone in Ireland used Imperial measurement in common speech when I was over there.
Do the migrants not have the capacity to learn it like the old stock did?

There wa sanother one where it said something along the lines of "make arrogant and false assumptions about the speed of light in vaccum and measure the circumference of the Earth wrong" and so on. You don't happen to have that?

Yeah thanks Marquis de Sade, without you eating sewage the creators of metric never could have murdered as many children or burned as many buildings for having roofs to much taller than their neighbors.


The French revolution was like the Holocaust except it happened and to people.

there's alot of units of measurement
it's good to know more than one
the imperial system was actually used for making castles and I forget where I saw it but it made sense at the time.
Also the french shit that was supposed to bring us the metric standards sank.

Jewtric was invented by a jew to destroy the holy system of measurement.

The metric system was invented by an Englishman

>>John Wilkins's proposal: Wilkins, in his 1668 book An Essay towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Language, called for a "universal measure" based on a natural phenomenon and a decimal system.

The French adopted it as part of their anglophilia their envy of England's rapid technological progress..

On a serious note both have their uses; metric is known by many Americans due to illegal drugs or zog service.

Metric is a much more intuitive system.
A "cup" or "foot"? How does that relate to anything useful?

Much more intuitive using rubidium decay states and big round numbers for the browns to understand

Metric electricity used CGS values that have all but evaporated.
Ergs, Galileo, Statvolts and Abvolts

>the brits always wanted to be special

No, that's what thought but it's actually because metric bits are smaller than normal bits.
