The UK sorta tried switching to metric but didn't do it completely and now has a weird system where the system you use depends on the situation I hate it
The US does it too, the other way around. They use fractions for a lot of things (3/8", half a foot, etc.) and then switch in decimals (like "2.5 inches") when they think you're not looking. Except for bullets for some reason which are in mm.
Fractions and decimals are the same units though. It should be easy enough to convert between them as well
Don't forget 2 liters of soda!
Litercola? Do we sell litercola?
It's for a cop.
don't get me started on bullets.
Don't forget about drug dealers slinging their grams and kilos.
There's also calibur for bullets, e.g. .357, .45, .22. , 30 aught 6.
