Oh OK - that does make a bit more sense. Still not exactly Nobel prize material, but fucking up the fractions at least makes more sense than not knowing how to read numbers and count lines lol

Metric would help with everything lol. I dream of the day we finally make the switch

I fear it.

I'm sure I could adapt, I just don't want to.

However, if there was a transition period it would be fine.

Teach it in schools, post signs for both for a while, a couple generations and boom, fully metric.

Just don't tell me the speed limit is 30 kilometers an hour, I have no frame of reference for that really.
