You think America is GREAT because we use measurements invented by ancient English kings?

Yes. It is. We have our values, tradition and yes, even remnants of ancient English Kings’ rule. Why do you want to destroy it?

Nope. Didn't say that. What I said was that people that push for adoption of the metric system in the U.S. are nerds.

I do think America is great, though. Despite the nerds.

That’s just one of the reasons America is (was) great. The ancient English invention of individual liberty is another.

The foot, inch system was Hebrew in origin, and is the oldist surviving measurement system.
