Hey we haven't fully adopted the metric system either.

Fuel is sold in litres but consumption is measured in Miles Per Gallon

Distances are all in miles and countdown markers are in Yards

Fruit is sold in kg (or per item) as is sugar but beer is served in Pints (or glasses for the pedant amongst you)

Smaller measurements I'm comfortable in mm, heights I can use either, distance I use miles unless I pop over to Europe in which case I recalibrate my brain to use kilometers

Beer served in pints is something we can all agree on!  :chugbeer:

Maybe where you are. Here is is 32.2 ft. per second per second. Which is probably why we invented drag racing- acceleration is much quicker in this part of the world.

Not really....... 100 miles per hour is roughly equals to  160 Kilometers per hour, so you are actually slower.....  :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
It is what it is....If not, it must be something else.
