As an American, I am truly sorry, and must ask for your forgiveness

Off to guantanamo with this commie.

Pretty sure they used the metric system at NASA in the '60s.

I just learned about this a few weeks ago. They use the size # thingy here too when they're small enough. Because Home Hardware, I guess.
This is the internet, you don't edit your mistakes, you double down.
Except for the ones sent to Mars.Computers were programmed in SI, but data were displayed in Imperial units.

Viking, n.:
1. Daring Scandinavian seafarers, explorers, adventurers, entrepreneurs world-famous for their aggressive, nautical import business, highly leveraged takeovers and blue eyes.
2. Bloodthirsty sea pirates who ravaged northern Europe beginning in the 9th century.
Hagar's note: The first definition is much preferred; the second is used only by malcontents, the envious, and disgruntled owners of waterfront property.

While in everyday life from a personal point of view it makes no difference what system one uses (leagues, cubits, els, foreskins etc) since it's mostly a matter of habit, which is also why there will never be an end to the travesty of the muh-system-of-measurements-is-better-n-yours-cause-muh-pappy-used-it, imperial measurements, as shown by Aea's pretty picture, have the added benefit of not only being especially brainfucked in terms of fractions of an inch but also would you cunts decide which system of fucking imperial measurements of volume is an actual gallon!!! For the record, US gallon is 3.8 litres and the UK gallon is 4.5 litres.

As an American, I am revoking your citizenship for apologizing. Please gather your things so you can be deported to Canada.
Now bad@botes
At school, I went through a period of using both Imperial and Metric at the same time.
Parents only ever used imperial while school was all metric, so I just used whichever seemed closest at the time. A box being 1m long and 1foot wide seemed just fine to me.
