Don't understand why you guys (and the Muricans) have to be something special and can't use same metric system than the rest of the world. :lol:
We technically do use the metric system a lot. We kinda flit between them.

Like officially we use metric, but we talk in stones and pounds rather than kg a lot, and mile rather than metres etc.

Probably for the same reason they call their NBA winner "world champion". They want to be the world!


Jokes aside, I read somewhere because protestants wanted to differ from Europe's catholics. But I don't know if true, could be bullshit of course. At the moment too lazy to google it.

I know, was just kidding.

I understand feet and inches, kind of understand concept behind pounds, never really understood stones though. It's just a bit random. :lol:


also, why is this "sport" on Olympics?
