    I use metric all the time in the US. My 3D printer runs in millimeters and Celsius, I buy Pepsi by the liter, I dose every medicine by the gram, I meter electricity by the kilowatt and my lights are rated in lumens.

    What I don’t do is this weird sense of superiority found in cultivated ignorance the Europeans seem so fond of on the subject.

      Yup that’s my issue. We used metric all the time in the US. But you don’t ever see us bitching about units in an internet comment.
