I’m normally not so picky about spelling mistakes, or litres and gallons. We all know about the imperial measurements, so why be so picky? And petty. 🙄

Do we know about gallons? US liquid gallon is 3.78 litres, while UK liquid gallon is 4.54 litres!

Who cares about the antiquated imperial dogshit system?

What stupid society has 16 ounces to a pound, 14 pounds to a stone, 12 inches to a foot, three feet to a yard and 5280 feet to a mile?

Have you got ten fingers? The metric system is logical. The imperial system is worse than a pig's arse.

The only contribution that the French have made to the history of civilisation.

We never had any trouble with Imperial measurements. Guess it depends on what was current.
when you were educated.

That was my point. The Imperial/ American systems are all over the place like a mad woman's breakfast.

Luckily, I commenced schooling in 1963 before decimal currency and the metric system were introduced in Australia.

Thankfully, I am able to convert from imperial to metric and £sd to dollars and cents and vice versa, without problem.
