    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 about drug dealers slinging their grams and kilos.

        There’s also calibur for bullets, e.g. .357, .45, .22. , 30 aught 6.

      You’ll love the way we do tyres then. Two of the dimensions are metric and the third is imperial.
