We kicked the king’s ass out of the country 250 years ago. We should have kicked his stupid measurements out at the same time.
Please tell me what is stupid about a furlong or an acre, or a mile? Furlong related to the length a of a field a man an ox team would plow 220 yards, or a mile as 8 furlongs.
Much more relatable than the tens, hundreds and thousands of a metric system.
Besides that, why do you revel in throwing off kings of yore, specifically those things that came to be commonplace and withstood the test of usage and time? For the system of another group of Europeans with whom we have little in common really, save for a massive influx of third worlder illegals and Muslims?
Finally, you can wish and hope all you want, it won’t change
“We should have kicked his stupid measurements out at the same time.”
Stupidly, you are advocating replacing those units with units made by the French and English monarchy and politicians. Going through life stupid and ignorant. Congratulations. You believe in science by political committee .
"His stupid measurements" are very practical. The metric system is flawed in that it has no equivalent of such practical measurements as ounce, pound, inch, gallon, foot, fathom, furlong, etc.
I say we kick you out!
