Did you know that the united kingdom, while driving on the left side of the road, uses miles per hour instead of km/h?
>>60363368
yea we use a mixture of metric and imperial
>>60363368
also, pic
green is metric
>>60363446
I learned about it from playing euro truck simulator 2
>>60363368
This is something that Americans are usually surprised by.

green = communists
gray = landed on the moon (and others)
>>60363843
The moon landing is a hoax!!!!

Prefer this picture.
>>60364090
Yeah but my picture actually shows what is what.
Giving a name with nothing to reference it by would just leave you confused.
>>60363514
You guys use Metric just as much as we do. Maybe a little more, but the difference I gathered when there was negligible.

It's nice to have Antarctica on our side for once.
>>60364333
we do, i think the main own being inche compared to centimeters they use in europe
also something about stones and kg (i only have ever used kg)
>>60364425
your the only country that uses stones, i've no idea oft he conversion from lb to stone
>>60364504
1st = 14lb if memory serves.
>>60364557
Correct.
>>60364504
google says 1 stone = 6.35029 kg
so about 13 lb
>>60364605
What do you do with the remainder? Just tack it on the end? 146lbs is 10 stone 6?
>>60364784
Yes.
>>60363701
most people just call it England or UK for short
>>60365003
Calling it England is a surefire way to trigger a Celt.
>>60364872
That seems clumsy at first glance but since we use feet/inches for height I can see how it's just something you get used to. Is there a situation where you would just use total pounds, or does that just invite conflation with the currency unit?
>>60365003
dont call it england but calling it the UK or great britain or britain is fine which is what most people do
people dont care about it much here but calling it england could be triggering to some
>>60365179
If we were going to be accurate we would just say it in KG.
Stones are just the quick way to say it, just like if we were to be accurate with height we would say it in CM but use feet and inches as the quick reference point.
>>60365418
I don't mean for accuracy, I mean would you ever just say "oh, about 23 pounds" instead of "oh, little over one and a half stone"?
