Why do people online caste Americans as the culprit when this is clearly from a British source? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago Yeah sorry, based on assumption. Because the US (plus a few tiny islands) refuses to switch to metric even though imperial is obsolete and complicated. It's also usual practice in the US to use weird things for measurements.
