I don't know if this makes a lot of sense

I wish the US had gone to the metric system when they first said they would when we were kids, then we would be in step with the world and all.

LONDON — The British government said it was taking steps to return to its traditional system of imperial weights and measures, allowing shops and market stalls to sell fruits and vegetables labeled in pounds and ounces alone, rather than in the metric system’s grams and kilograms, a move it hailed as an example of the country’s new post-Brexit freedoms.

The plans, which David Frost, the minister overseeing Brexit, announced on Thursday, were cheered by Brexit supporters, many of whom had argued that the switch to the metric system over the decades was a sign of unwelcome European Union interference in daily life in Britain.

While the European Union currently requires members to use the metric system alone, it had allowed Britain, when it was a member, to label its produce in imperial units alongside metric units.

Neuroplasticity.  Without it, change is not easy.

Such a stupid, spiteful, shortsighted and self destructive idea.  Just like Brexit.  No wonder they can't stay in a long term relationship with any of their colonies.

I have adjusted to the binumerical system of measurement.

I especially like having to have both metric and fractional tools to work on damn near anything

Oh for goodness sake!

Any modern country uses a standard of weights and measures based on washing machines!!

That must be the heavy water that the Nazis were producing during WWII.
