Yeah, people talk shit about Americans using Imperial, but Brits are so fucked up. At least we consistently use one shitty system. Brits are constantly switching between the two, and sometimes even using outdated systems no one else uses. Like, why the fuck do you use stones for body weight, but pounds, ounces, and grams for different measurements of weight? Be consistent at least.
