@lankohr@mastodon.social @FaithinBones@mastodon.social @peteorrall@mastodon.bsd.cafe @Fasgadh@mastodon.scot @kibcol1049@mstdn.social To be honest, units of measure have a very deep cultural and intellectual grasp on a culture, in that whatever was commonplace when a person was a child becomes the comparison that has 'meaning' to them. I may prefer to use metric units when doing practical things like carpentry, but in speech only Imperial units carry any impact. Someone may be two meters tall, but it only carries meaning to me as 6 feet. 2 meters is an abstraction.
