@Idrake @stueytheround it would be interesting to know the history of that choice. it seems so "obvious" to use the NA way to us, and to immigrants too i see. so, i know you Brits love to be eccentric 🥰🥰🥰, but nonetheless that can't be the only reason 😉
@holon42 @stueytheround except when it comes to measuring. Then we are the eccentric ones. We be like "Pft! Metric! Take your milimeters and liters and grams and fuck off!"
@Idrake yes, another cultural choice, very American reasons too🤧
@holon42 I think we did it to fuck with the Russian.. I can picture Ivan trying to take apart a crashed U2 being all "Balls! How many milimeters is in 7/16ths Sergei?"
"There is no math invented that can solve that!"
