As an outsider, I really wish America got on with the times and embraced the metric system. I always have to pull out a calculator and convert units whenever they talk about feet, inches, yards and miles or pounds for weight whenever I’m watching educational videos.

The Imperial system also has a messed up scale. Twelve inches equals a foot, three feet equals a yard and 1760 yards equals a mile. Compare that to the smooth sailing of the metric system: 100 centimetres equals a meter, and 1000 meters equals a kilometre.
