Just sayin’.

Not entirely true, because some countries only use the metric system partially, and use the imperial system to some capacity still. England, for instance: try asking anyone there how many kilos they weigh.

I find there’s a perceptible age gap in terms of metric usage in England. Friends my age, especially ones who watch their weight using gym scales / modern equipment, will probably know their weight in kilos, whereas their parents won’t have any idea.
Guess it all kinda ties into the years the various countries picked it up, which is a fascinating dataset in itself. Algeria in 1840 and Iran in 1927? Who’da thunk it.

Man, Carter couldn’t get shit done!
