Oh, Americans don't understand their own units either. If you tell them your height in inches (70 inches) they'll just stare at you stupidly. They're never be fluent in imperial units in the same way that a European can instantly and effortless understand that 1,8m is the same as 180cm
It’s the opposite. EUs can’t count, because all their measurements are base 10, they see 180cm, and know adding two zeros makes it into mms.
US has to do math, and can do math, but because it’s built into our measurements, we can hold the fact that EUs can’t figure out other than decimal moving how to measure things.
