We’re on a post that’s about making fun on the imperial system.
If that’s triggering to you… maybe move on to the next post?
“Standard”?
Such tasty irony. :D
“metrication”
You mean standardisation?
“dozenal time” :D
Our clocks work on 24-hour time, yank. And those twenty four hours are divided into 60 minutes and 60 seconds, which is called sexagesimal, meaning base-60. Imperial isn’t base-anything, as every unit is different from the next.
An inch is 3 barleycorns. A barleycorn is 4 poppyseeds. A poppyseed (2.11mm) is six points. A point, 0.35mm is twenty twips. A twip is 17 micrometers.
Also, looking at recipes online, measuring via volume (cups) more common in the US than grams.

It’d help your point if you were less incredibly butthurt lol
You don’t find “metrication” and “dozenal” hilarious when the context of the post is ‘Americans don’t understand metric systems’?
