alt textComic strip of a ghost and a person with the American flag pasted on the head. The ghost repeats "Boo!" in the first three panels without getting any reaction, but when it in the fourth panel says "kg, cm, km, °C" the American gets scared and screams "AHHHH!!!".

Edit: fixed alt text

What's even worse is that when they use SI units they don't even spell them right. They write meters whereas the rest of the world writes metres

Nah, in Dutch it's meter (plural: meters) too

spelling is hard why make it harder by spelling it "metres"

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thats why we call it a volt-meter, or amp-meter or a parking-meter.

Well how would I know if they teach me it's meters and not metres, hmm?

Europeans acting smug like knowing how close to boiling the temperature is is more important than knowing how close to 100% hot out the temperature is.
