Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

Americans don't care that Europeans use metric but Europeans always have a lot to say about Imperial, why is that?
Americans feel we have the right to be special even if it inconveniences others, such as needing everything to be translated into Freedom Units(tm).
Europeans are confused and frustrated as to why the US is the one major country left resisting the Metric Assimilation.
Because they tend to push their fantasy units into everyone's face
Like this meme?
American here, we only cared when it came to someone using it and not in football field lengths. /s
I live in spain now, metric took about a week to figure out. Cooking was a switch since it was in grams, not cups or ounces. Oh and weight, the Doctor bust up laughing when I told him my weight before I left the states (198) and we had to remember the math to get 90kg (I’m now 75kg). But I assure you that I need to use Freedom units when talking to friends. Telling them it was 20 today irritates them to levels unknown because I’m forcing math.
