        Au contraire. We Americans think easily in both Imperial and SI. In terms of units we’re bilingual. It’s you 10-10-10 types whose brains have been scrambled by your over-easy conversions and estimates.

          What the stink are you talking about

          The only Americans I know who know any proper amount of metric converting are folks in technical fields that require it. The layman knows that metric exists, most don’t learn how to convert, and I’ve even met a couple different people who were proud of not using metric.

            This is a weird argument to be having, but I think I agree with the person above, minus the smugness. I haven’t run into a situation in the US in many years where someone didn’t use both. Especially in a global economy where we ship things all over the world, metric is everywhere in the US.

    But if I don’t have a truck the size of a locomotive how will people know that I absolutely do not have a micropenis?
