I find it interesting that he admits our system is too complicated for third world people like him.
US was based on the BRITISH system of weights and measures at the time - but the 'mericans couldn't hold as much likker or ale as the Brits - so they had to make their pint smaller - and along with that, their quart and gallon.
Are you drunk or insane?! Your post is another example that proves that Americans are too stupid to handle the metric system. It goes by 1 millimetre increments ONE millimetre! The width of a strike of an ink ball point pen!! What’s so hard to comprehend here? 1mm, 10mm = 1cm. I’m a drafty and trained in both MM and inches and MM are waaaaay more accurate! So Americans are “nearest 1/16 will do”?! If someone you know moved countries because they couldn’t handle the metric system, I’m sorry but that is, and I’m going to use words that aren’t words, they are dumbarsery fr’tards I’m sorry but do they drag their knuckles on the ground?!
He's talking about square meters and you are talking about long ones and milli ones. People are easily confused when they don't match.
