  Grew up learning standard in America, prefer metric it makes way more sense. 12 inches equals 1 foot? Fucking stupid. Increments of 10 are where it's at
  

  Hey Froot Newton... What time is it?

  What do you mean 60 seconds to a minute, and 60 minutes to an hour, and 24 hours to a day? Seven days in a week?? That's hard math, derp!

  Are you fucking stupid?? There is a metric time system you know. We don't use it because it makes no geometric sense.

  It doesn't matter. We landed on the moon with feet, pounds, miles, and seconds. How fucking stupid.

  Come on ESA... Hasn't the metric system landed you on Mars yet?

  OK Mr Rest on Your Laurels While You Get Passed on By - try coming to America with an unlocked iPhone to get hooked into a service here. You get sent from pillar to post trying to get a sim card, and in the end the only one who can service you is T-Mobile with only 2G and they don't even deal with iPhones. AT&T will only hook you on to a 2 year old contract. Also, the service is spotty and non-existent in so many places. Whereas overseas there is far less problem with coverage, even down in the subway. And you can walk into any cellphone shop to buy a sim card very cheaply. What a lost opportunity when you think of all the tourists who come here each year with iPhones, who are not used to the concept of roaming charges because they are able to get a new sim card for each country they visit.

  Seriously? Your getting worked up over imperial and metric systems? Who gives a fuck. Use what's easiest to you and others use what's easiest to them. It's not that fucking difficult.
• Brown🎵Note Mar 30, 2012

  Bah. Coverage per capita here is beyond excellent. Contract issues are not technology issues. Infrastructure wise, landlines here are ubiquitous and nearly perfect, so we don't have to rely on walky-talkies like they do in other tiny, easy-to-cover with cell tower countries. Therefore we do not rely as much on cell devices. But we have full coverage in any populated areas... Seems like you tourists trying to buy sims are just tight asses without good roaming plans.

  How many square miles of coverage do they have in your country?

  I bet you liked the standard system of gallons for gasoline though, eh?

  What do you pay per liter?

  Psh... Sitting there telling us that America is being left behind... We are still the world's largest economy you know.

  Tell us about where you live. It must be awesome.

  Yeah. It's pretty good. No cyclones, earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, floods, I'm employed, earn a good wage, live in a house, air is free from pollution...

  So I'm a little confused, imagine that. When I win the megamillions jackpot tonight I have decided in advance to take the onetime lump sum. Currently this stands at approx 390 million (Ironicaly the exact number of hench purchased by h@voc). Seeing as I live in the states, we use fahrenheit. I am think about buying a second home in Europe somewhere so I can spend more quality time with Mes. My question is, what is the conversion rate for $390 mil from us funds to european celcius? Damn damn exchange rates always screw with me.
• squishedfrog Mar 30, 2012

  Problem being that even if we learn metric we still use imperial ie 2 cups not 500ml
  2' not 60cm
  2x4 are still 2x4's not 5x20's

  I am actually American and usually live in California, but am currently assigned overseas and am back visiting family. So I have experience of several countries that you are so distainful about. The cellphone service here stinks - this week I am on the opposite coast, and the cellphone service stinks here, too. America has so much potential, but squanders it by sitting back on its laurels and pretending that everything is hunkey dorey. And you know what? Even though America insists it has the best health service in the world - it's beaten by those little tinpot countries you despise. I love America, but it makes me so frustrated when it has so much potential and wastes it.

  Iiiiiiiii take it you're a glass-half-empty type, am I right?

  I've travelled as well. That's why I like it here.

  I agree with this guy. Has anyone here had to work within thousands of an inch? It's shit!
• ༺Mʏsтєཽʀɪøɴ༻ Mar 31, 2012

  Fahrenheit because the best goddamn country in the world uses it🇺🇸
• Brown🎵Note Mar 31, 2012

  And I don't know what you are talking about with medical care.

  You obviously buy the propaganda.

  I live in DC. I have Johns Hopkins, Kennedy Krieger, Children's, Georgetown, NIH, and the center of genome research for the entire world right here.

  We have cutting edge doctors, diagnostic equipment, procedures, and facilities.

  And this isn't even Boston!

  Oh, wait... You want to buy your health care from any cell phone shop and not have to pay roaming fees. Sorry. I thought you were talking about quality, not price.

  I thought this was a Celsius v Fahrenheit post...

  We should have it in Kelvin degrees just because. :)
  

  I agree! Kelvins start at absolute zero and you convert from Celsius to kelvins by adding 273. Although I'm not 100% sure if that's the right #.

  I've noticed that Americans can be so ignorant sometimes.
  A perfect example is the date system. They are the only country in the world to put the month first. The rest of the world puts day first. Why? Why do you have be so differcult and try so hard to be different?

  Another thing that confuses and annoys me is your modification of the English language. You go as petty as changing sulphur to sulfer. Why? Why the hell do you need to be so petty to change the English language to that.
  Then, which I've seen multiple times, grammar nazis say that sulphur is the wrong spelling. It just annoys me how you destroy the English language then claim we are doing it wrong.

  There is a lot of things in America that confuse and annoy me. You're trying too hard to be different.

  CELCIUS!!!

  Lol go metric... Now let's talk about who actually drives on the wrong side of he road....armoured convoy pulls out of an Australian base (left side of road out of habit) US troops heading in on same side, argument , swearing, finger pointing turned into a good little scuffle rivaling the beter bar fights I've ever been in lol
• nailz Mar 31, 2012

  American words are spelt (spelled) as they sound.
• nailz Mar 31, 2012

  British English-American English
  colour color
  humour humor
  favourite favorite
  theatre theater
  kilometre kilometer
  mum mom
  cosy cozy
  realise realize
  dialogue dialog
  traveller traveler
  cheque check
  jewellery jewelry
  tyre tire

  I'll admit it would be easier. Especially for spelling contests at school.
  But I grew up with British English and I like it.

  We change spelling to make things more efficient. And there are lots of countries that do the month first, it makes more sense and is easier to word it in that order. USA always tries to go for efficiency. Maybe the rest of you should try to as well

  I don't believe it is more efficient.
  And name another country that does month first.

  And you've changed your language many times. We don't have the right to evolve ours? British have superiority in spelling evolutions?

  I prefer Celsius because it's based on water, it makes sense, and I was raised learning it.
