We're just so used to them ๐ญ
Also, decimeter needs to be more normalized, describing everyone as "1 point whatever" meters tall is lame
Where I live people say the height in centimeters, not meters but it's usually said like One Eighty Three instead of One Hundred Eighty Three.
I can't get over the American obsession with labelling liquids in Oz, what is that?
A lot of people don't understand where the Oz measurement comes from. 1 Oz of water is the smallest amount of water necessary to melt one witch. It used to be that it was also a measurement of witches in a given area, 4 witches of varying goodness was considered one Oz.
