    It’s what most of the world uses. Tea-ville and Yeehawland are the only two that typically use imperial still.

      We don’t even use the same type of imperial either

      If France could just lie for a few years and say that they’re adopting the British system, it might persuade us to finally metricise properly out of spite and I’d be extremely grateful to them

      In Germany, we usually express height in meters and centimeters, like 1 meter 58 or 1 meter 88.

          Feel free to say it any way you like, it makes no difference:

          • 1.58 meters
          • 158 centimeters
          • 1 meter 58 centimeters

          It’s all the exact same thing, nobody will bat an eye.
