There’s several different types of miles: nautical, statute, scandinavian, irish, etc. Which makes using the imperial system all the more stupid.
True but there are also many different types of meters: kilometers, centimeters, millimeters, thermometers, barometers, … face it: the metric system isn’t better
Maybe add a /s
I see your point but my ratio is much better than it was before. I guess some people are able to read my comments 2 level lower (like this one)
Meter? I hardly know her!
This is a good and funny comment. Sorry the people voting are too thick to get it
With how some 'muricans are, that’s a clear cut case of Poe’s Law
kilo is a common prefix meaning *1000
milli is /1000
and you can use them for several units
it’s not like we use “irish” to mean *1.27
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Irish Coffee exactly 1.27 coffees?
No, “irish coffee” is coffee with alcohol in it. At least where I am from.
Well, yeah. In Ireland it’s just coffee.
Would “irish beer” be beer with a small serving of coffee on top?
You are right. But the metric system is intuitive. 12 millimeters = 1 centimeter, 3 centimeter = 1 meter, 100 meter is a football pitch, and 1760 meters are a kilometer (I had to google this one because I never know. The designers really missed out at using 1776 meters in a kilometer).

Talk shit about imperial all you want, just remember that the British made it. US was just too busy building a damn country to change units when the new one was adopted by the British and their imperial states.
lol, why people downvote me but upvote you.
Idk, internet things.
