- we seem to make it work against all odds.hotroddy
- They wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.********
- In Germany we still use Pfund (pound) in everyday life. The german pound is 500g or 1/2 kg. So its very useful to the metric system. The anglo-american pound isd_gitale
- 453g ... so only slightly different. Therefor a quarterpounder is something we can fathom.d_gitale
- Again, as in almost all of your posts/comments, you are wrong omg.d_gitale
- lol. I surely hope you are joking.********
- As a long time Celsius fan, I must admit, F makes more sense for weather. All other temps in C. Thank you********
- like with languages: americans are only familiar with their own units, measuring the world in rocks and bodyparts.drgs
- most europeans are familiar with inches and pounds, in addition to their own metric systemdrgs
- We did an office project for GE many moons ago. All the drawings and specs from their HQ in the US were in imperial. Our boss told them to fucking get a grip.face_melter
- even though I use metric for everything else in my life, I still use imperial for print design. I can't make the switch.Gnash
- ºF is 0 to 100 from Fuckin' Cold to Fuckin' Hot.********
- Unless I work in a lab, cafe, or near the north pole, wtf do I care when water boils and freezes. (As if it's so hard to remember 32 and 212)********
- Serious question though: for photographs / images in print design, do you not all use PPI (and DPI for print)??********
- well 0 C is the line between rain and snowdrgs
- As much as we like to make fun of Americans, how many Canadians on here measure their height in anything other than feet and inches? Lol_niko
- The metric system is way too logical and makes people less creative.********
- just converted outside temperature to fahrenheit -- it is as if a wave of inspiration came over medrgs
- @niko: I'm Canadian, and I wouldn't know a pound, foot or an inch if they slapped me in the face. I measure my height in cm and weight in kg.Continuity
- I prefer metric system. Also it makes more sense callling it football than soccer. What the fuck is that hand egg thing?!?pango
- American football = rubgy for pussies.Continuity
- @ continuity, fast without looking it up how tall are you in cm and how much do you weigh in kg... see didn't think so._niko
- Lol just kidding but what part of Canada are you from? I've never met anyone in Ontario who uses metric for height and weight._niko
- America isn't the only nation that doesn't use the metric systemmonospaced
- But I've been working a ton on international projects in the metric system, and the whole thing is far superior. I'm sick of thinking in 1/16-inch increments.monospaced

- Canadian's do use both. Cuz there's no way american's will change. and we live beside them :/ . But officially "Metric!"pango
- @niko. If you must know, I'm 183 cm tall and 86 kg. And I was born in Ottawa, grew up in New Brunswick.Continuity
- °C makes way more sense for weather when you live in a climate that sees 40° above and below over the span of a year.i_monk
- C also stands for cunt.pango
- The UK use miles for distance, feet to measure height, stone for weight and inches to describe our cocks. Metric hasn't quite taken hold.HAYZ1LLLA
