UGH!
America really REALLY needs to start using the metric system.
why is that?
Because our current system is fucking RETARDED, but we're too damn stubborn to change.
Seriously, who the fuck comes up with such measurements?!
It's like these two potheads were just sitting around a fire and went.
"Dude...this should be a foot"
"Duude...that's a great idea. Wha...what about umm...incz-...uhh...inches?"
"DUDE. FUCKING TWELVE."
"YES."
As opposed to the metric system which has very easy-to-understand multiples of 10, and simple consistent prefixes to indicate them.
And we're here with medeival fucking ounces and cups and pints and quarts and yards and feet and inches...gahhh.
Pisses me off.
