It's all metric behind the scenes. When you pump your gas it shows gallons, but it's doing the math in litres. We turned our backs on the ⅓ lb burger, we've trained corporations to treat us like idiots.

Yeah engineers use metric then we convert because you (general) don’t understand metric and don’t want to learn

I'm an engineer but I work in imperial. Most machines run inches so I design in inches.

Fair enough I actually use mixed because my maintenance department doesn’t like metric but we have foreign bosses and suppliers
