  It’s not just different, it’s less intuitive, and it’s based on other obsolete units, and it is only used by a minority.
  I bet if some other country had their own national standards of measurement plastered all over the net, that you would be pretty annoyed by that too.
  But somehow USA doing this shit constantly is OK because AMERICA!!

  Americans are fucking annoying with their constant special pleading, it’s OK to post psi or other imperial units, but for fucks sake post the metric units too that the majority is using.

    Less intuitive for morons who never learned anything anyway.

    Are YOU going to pay for the conversion?

      What?

      I’m arguing to convert to metric when posting on an international forum, because metric is the international standard.
      But I’ll have you know that I often also post Imperial units when posting, because I know there are also a lot of Americans here. I’ve seen others do the same.
      But Americans very rarely do that. Hence the claim about American arrogance.
