Comment on What has he done to deserve this?
randomdeadguy@lemmy.world 3 months agoInconvenienced might be right. The tagline from the poster treats metric implementation as a punishment. “What did he do to deserve this?” Has the same victimized tone like, “Look what they done to my boy” which completely disregards the merits of either system in favor of nationalism. It almost seems like a cold-war era ideal.

Start with adding a few metric characteristics in imperial. A yard and a meter are pretty close, so call it a kilo yard and centi yard. Same for quart and liter. It’s not switching to metric, but it’s more logical.

I suddenly really hate the newfound existence of potential milli-, micro-, and picoyard(s). Thanks.
