You mean a world measuring standard that all but 2 countries use?


When I was a kid in the 1970’s we were being taught the metric system in school because we were supposed to switch over.

All of the instruments in the spaceship were displayed in imperial units because the astronauts preferred it that. The absolute best pilots on the planet who were literally hand flying spaceships to the surface of the moon thought metric was gay.

In fact, in aviation even today the imperial system is the worldwide standard. Expect for Russia I think. So if you want to be like those queers and crash your planes trying to figure out how many meters you've got before you hit the ground then go ahead I suppose.

Also all pilots and air traffic controllers are required ro speak English. So that means that learning other languages is as dumb as figuring out how many kilograms your fatass weighs.

Was going to say this. We love our standard measurements but in science and engineering metric is used.
