There’s several different types of miles: nautical, statute, scandinavian, irish, etc. Which makes using the imperial system all the more stupid.
True but there are also many different types of meters: kilometers, centimeters, millimeters, thermometers, barometers, … face it: the metric system isn’t better
You are right. But the metric system is intuitive. 12 millimeters = 1 centimeter, 3 centimeter = 1 meter, 100 meter is a football pitch, and 1760 meters are a kilometer (I had to google this one because I never know. The designers really missed out at using 1776 meters in a kilometer).

Talk shit about imperial all you want, just remember that the British made it. US was just too busy building a damn country to change units when the new one was adopted by the British and their imperial states.
lol, why people downvote me but upvote you.
Idk, internet things.
Maybe add a /s
kilo is a common prefix meaning *1000
milli is /1000
and you can use them for several units
it’s not like we use “irish” to mean *1.27
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Irish Coffee exactly 1.27 coffees?
No, “irish coffee” is coffee with alcohol in it. At least where I am from.
Well, yeah. In Ireland it’s just coffee.
Would “irish beer” be beer with a small serving of coffee on top?
Meter? I hardly know her!
This is a good and funny comment. Sorry the people voting are too thick to get it
With how some 'muricans are, that’s a clear cut case of Poe’s Law
