We’re on a post that’s about making fun on the imperial system.
If that’s triggering to you… maybe move on to the next post?
“Standard”?
Such tasty irony. :D
“metrication”
You mean standardisation?
“dozenal time” :D
Our clocks work on 24-hour time, yank. And those twenty four hours are divided into 60 minutes and 60 seconds, which is called sexagesimal, meaning base-60. Imperial isn’t base-anything, as every unit is different from the next.
An inch is 3 barleycorns. A barleycorn is 4 poppyseeds. A poppyseed (2.11mm) is six points. A point, 0.35mm is twenty twips. A twip is 17 micrometers.
Also, looking at recipes online, measuring via volume (cups) more common in the US than grams.
