MODERATORS
When I was in London back in the late 90s everyone referred to “it” as Big Ben BUT most folks just didn’t refer to it unless being asked about it.
Like. School kids knew it. But everyone else kept living their life.
Just like everyone there secretly knows how to use imperial units but pretends when anyone who doesn’t know metric is about.
