I love how reactionary people are here.
It's not reactionary to know your history.

Perhaps you missed how firmly my tongue is planted in my cheek.

I am so tired of rods, furlongs, pecks, roods and on and on....
who cares if it's SI units or not? some people drive on the right side of the road, some on the left, we don't all use the same units for money, we don't speak the same language. so what? for a unit there isn't one better than another, they were all made up anyway. the point of a unit is to unify something, to have a common ground for communication and we have it as the US actually referenced their units in metric values. so when needed we can convert and be happy.
it's very clear that the US are making their own life difficult for no particular reason, as they do not use exclusively their system. in fact most of science uses the SI units whatever the country. so in the end they just have to learn 2 stuff instead of one. if they want to, how does that hinder everybody else's life? it doesn't.
I would like to make some stupid anti American comment, but the truth is that if I just take France, when I deal with photography, there are many things I will express in inches(pouce) because "that's how it is". there is zero legitimate reason, but somehow the inches stick to photography even to this day. same thing for monitors and TVs, the diagonal is usually given in both units but we're fine with inches. why is it that we're using inches, who knows? habits. and truth be told, nobody cares.
and when I'm taking a bottle of coke, the stuff is quantified in litre by habit. if we were really practical and trying to make things universal, we would be talking in cm³ for example.
and those are just stuff I come up with on the top of my head while writing. I'm sure we all have many of those weird stuff going on.
now taking pride in something that doesn't make much sense, it's a very different story and I have a clear opinion on that one.
...and the Fulla?I'd say we reference a Schiit-tonne to the weight of the Ragnarok/Yggdrasil, and the schiit-load will then be the weight of a Asgard/Bifrost stack. Lastly there's the schiit-pile, which is equal to the weight of a stack of magni/modi/loki/wyrd

I don't like it. I am happy for the English language, though.
