French created the metric system.
But isn’t it very British to take everyone else’s shit and claim it as their own?
Only if it’s something really old and they can put it in a museum.
Or words from another language.
But they don’t do that with the metric system.
The image in the OP literally says “British: hey guys, we developed a thing called the metric sy-” so your argument is with the creator…
Except I don’t hear british people actually say that.
Very true. But also is for French people too though, to be fair
