Dear United States of America,
Pandemonium.Bartimaeus said: Antarctica WILL NEVER BOW TO YOUR DEMANDS, BARBARIAN. ANTARCTICA FTW! Personally, I've never understood why the US still uses the old Fahrenheit scale for temperature. Celsius makes so much more sense.. 0 is the freezing point and 100 is the boiling point. 32 and 212 are just..strange.
Dear "Rest of the World",
Please refer to the story of the Three Sisters. The oldest sister was a *** and bossed the other two sisters around. The second sister rebelled and kicked the ***outta the first sister, then ran away. The second sister established herself elsewhere along with the tag-along third sister. The first sister laughed when she found out that the second sister was diagnosed with Schizophrenia, but the second sister fought and got her mind back in one piece. Signed, America P.S. I just made you read that whole thing HAHA! Ramuh.Krizz said: WHAT?! I thought they stopped using cow bladders for packaging purposes long ago. Also biodegradable packaging ftw.

Maybe Americans don't need everything to end with a 0 to make sense... It's also more accurate. Kind of like measuring something with centimeters compared to inches.

Stop pulling Canada into this mess. As a French colony they are immune and protected from the evil ideals that roam the northern plains of America.
-- Also the person that suggested America saved the day is clearly wrong. The Germans actually surrendered to the soviets on May 8 1945. I love how the Soviets are severely underappreciated for their contribution in the second world war. America drops two bombs killing hundrerds of thousands of innocents and the Soviets are running along the frontline with broomsticks painted black as weapons. We use the metric system. Thanks to soda I know how much 2 liters is! In America, milk comes in Gallons and soda comes in liters. We're almost bi-measuringsystem-lingual
I remember being in elementary school actually and having a week or two where all these teachers came in and they were trying to teach us the metric system. We'd go home, ask our parents for help because "wtf does all this mean!?" and then our parents would be like "uhhhhhhhhhhh idk, how to do this" so then I guess the school quit trying to teach it to us. I actually thought centimeters were a normal part of our measuring system forever too. Its on all the rulers. I honestly thought it was the smallest measurement, it went centimeters, inches, feet, yards..yeah. Actually Im quite proficient with the metric system, It isnt confusing until you get into medical classes though and then for some reason its 10x more complicated then it really is.

I'm not bashing the Soviets because they DID contribute a lot more than the world gives credit for. However, to be completely frank, all the soviets had were numbers, and most of the battles they "won" would be considered a loss by anyone with a value on human casualty. Look at any battle the soviets were in...they more than likely lost at least double their enemy. (That battle with uh...Finland I think it was? comes to mind.) On topic. Daus is correct, they tried integrating it into American culture in schools. Even a lot of the teachers had no clue wtf was going on, so they stopped. XD so somewhere out there, there is milk that is... hairy?
Edit: the Soviets had sheer numbers, farmers and peasants who didn't know the first thing about combat. They got tossed to the Germans until the Germans eventually pulled out under their own command. Gilgamesh.Bluesummers

dear map at page one,
get your colors right we dont use the metric sistem in Puerto Rico /hurray for coppying the US... -_- /early reply i know no one cares about Puerto Rico 99% of the ppl in the world cant even point it out i know but meh Puerto Rico ftw!! Puerto Rico!!! <3

Even with automated systems (Pro-E)conversions still get fuxxed. Yes major companies still use inches and yards in their engineering diagrams, CAT, NASA, major car companies. Many American engineers (and Americans in general) cannot relate the metric scale physically, but they can eye an 'inch' from 3 'yards' out :P Midgardsormr.Shiroichi said: Ifrit.Kungfuhustle said: Dear "Rest of the World", If it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking German, heiling Hitler, and wearing Lederhosen.
