It is like you can't even make small talk with Americans 🥔🤷🏻‍♀️

*talking about the weather*

Him: says something about the weather in °F expecting a reaction on my part.
Me: *awkward pause* Yea I have no idea what that means, my brain works in °C 🥔🤷🏻‍♀️

*awkward silence*

*Me: Regretting that I joined the meeting two minutes early*.

*Him: butthurt for the rest of the meeting because I didn't understand °F and possibly feels offended by me for the rest of his life*

We americans came along and changed everything, we set the "Standard" for every type of measurement (temperature, weight, quantity and size measurements) we changed the way things are spelled because the rest of the uncivilized world has been doing it wrong since the beginning of time.

when is the rest of the world going to see things our way? 😆

@Bang5luts Metric is the measures of the science technocrat. Imperial is the measure of the man on the job.

@Bang5luts Don't fret over it. All this (spelling/scales etc) is going to change for Americans and non Americans anyway, as potatoes are making universal changes underway and everyone will have to comply with the new potato way.
