Yeah, imperial is... confusing... like you have inches, but then you don't get decainches, you get feet ๐. And then you don't have kiloinches, you have miles ๐คฆ.
What drives me nuts is that everyone likes to pretend America came up with this shit. But it was Britain, they just decided to abandon it for a new standard and were were too busy building a damn country and hating Britain to just adopt a new measurement system.
Ok, ok, you're right, I won't tease you guys any more about this ๐.
