>>332642847
UKfag here, it doesn't. People do use feet and inches for people's heights in conversation but that's it. Where it actually matters for something metric is always used.

Customary is based on logic, though. Feet/inches are basically perfect for human height, since inches aren't as susceptible to height variance as centimeters are and feet give you a good ballpark estimate without being needlessly specific. Miles are good for measuring the distance between two locations, as 60mph is generally the average highway speed and thus one mile is one minute of travel.
Yards are a meme and literally the only contexts they're used in are yardsticks and sports.
The only advantage of metric is the fact that the conversion is retard-proof. No wonder it's so beloved elsewhere.

Europe is cuck central. All your defense ministers are frail 4 foot tall women, backwards muslims from the middle east and northern africa are taking over your cities, raping your women and children, then being rewarded afterward with flowers and praise, and you aren't even free to say anything about it without being arrested, but have to watch silently as everything you've ever known or loved is taken from you.
inb4 you criticize objectively superior U.S.A. At least I can make this post about what's happening to you without being arrested in the middle of the night for "hate speech." kekk
Get your shit together.

>>332649448
No we don't, you got your shit confused anon. We use commas as decimal marks and that's about it. We don't use periods at all.
In French you'd write 15,000 (fifteen thousand) as 15000 or 15 000.
I agree though, this country fucking blows.

Black Ops 3 irritates me for this reason. If you're going to add all these half-assed wallrunning/jetpack boost mechanics why DO I STILL TAKE FALL DAMAGE? Why are there parts of the map I can easily access with a jetpack that are out of bounds too? Such a dumb design.

You can make the argument that metric measurements are better but fuck using Celcius to describe the outside temperature. That's the one I refuse to budge on, Farenheit master race.

>>332656653
Fahrenheit is arbitrary bullshit, just like the imperial system, and the Month/Day/Year system, and are only used by retards.

In this case the damage should occur after the double jump. Not after you hit the ground.

What? No they don't.
Instead of a comma they use a space.

I'm looking at you Left 4 Dead.
Can someone explain something to me
If Celsius is based on Water and Kelvin is based on Absolute Zero, what's Fahrenheit based off?
I prefer Fahrenheit for weather reports (it's easier to tell at a glance that 90°F is uncomfortably hot rather than 32°C)
>>332665201
The lower defining point, 0 degrees, was established as the temperature of a solution of brine made from equal parts of ice and salt. Further limits were established as the melting point of ice (32 degrees) and his best estimate of the average human body temperature (96 degrees, about 2.5 degrees less than modern measurements)
>>332665384
That's a pretty odd starting point
