This thing of using the two systems of units of measurement and interchanging which one goes in the parenthesis is quite annoying. Murica, stop being the nationalist weirdo and embrace the metric system for fuck's sake.
As a representative of these great United States of America, I will pledge the domestic everyday use of the metric system if those honorable representatives of other nations pledge to stop mixing up commas and periods in numerical notation.
It's called a decimal point, not a decimal comma.
Thank you.
I still can't get my brain to use kg when measuring human weights; but that's my problem and other than that I'm right with you.
