  I mean I’m pretty sure the American system is defined using SI units so it’s mostly because of American exceptionalism and a fetish for unit conversion.

    Ain’t called the “imperial” system for nothing.

    Brits gave it to us and then we changed the spellings and decided it made us special I guess.

    So, partial credit where partial credit is due. It’s just way the fuck older.
