The only part of the metric system I don't like is degrees Celsius. I have a feeling miles will be used in the U.S. forever though, because roads in many areas are laid out in one-mile grids.

It's kinda weird how some beverages here are sold in quarts and gallons, and others in liters...

We use the metric system, i find it a cap load easier, maybe because i grew up with it.

Anyways, i plan to go to the US, ismply because Australia isnt very good.

You know, the UK has pretty bad reputation for food in the US, and nobody understands why ; I mean, if you're that bothered about it we have McDonalds and Burger Kings and KFCs and Subways everywhere, so you can't complain Besides, you can't resist a good helping of fish and chips from a chippie Hell, you can even get Pocky in central London

Sure but I want 8000 cm3 of bananas in return.

I wonder if most people understand that the US uses the Metric system for science. It doesn't really matter what everyday people use.

Temperature measurements: American is best

Linear measurements: Metric

Weight: American.

Knives: America. I've heard england is trying to outlaw pointed knives, or butcher knives.

Guns: When you think of guns, which do you think of first, france, england, or America? I think the latter.

Best of all: America!

When it comes to Celsius vs. Fahrenheit it makes more sense to have the freezing point be at 0 degrees (Celsius), instead of 32, like with Fahrenheit. The same kind of goes with the boiling point, at 100, instead of 212.

I completely agree. The systems we use here make much more sense, especially when it comes to heights and temperatures (and no, I'm not only saying that because I'm Norwegian, but because it's true. ).

I didn't even know ||bass actually was American. I've been (registered) here too short, I guess.

Nope, Celsius sucks except for shit like Chemistry.

Does 30 sound like a hot day? Nope. 105 does, though. In yo face!
