          Our ongoing war with Canadian geese are actually the reason why we didn’t convert to metric. The geese have a harder time converting their flight paths if we list things in imperial.

        It also stands out a lot more than using meters. And gets people to talk about the ridiculous unit of measurement. In short, it drives engagement, which is the point of the title these days.
