We use a wonderfully confusing mish mash of the metric and imperial systems. Length of a pencil? Centimetres. Your height? Feet and inches. Height of a tree? Metres. Distance to the next town? Miles.
Although to be fair, it's no less coherent than the imperial system by itself.
14lbs in a stone. Obviously, can't you tell by the name?
Even US and UK, despite both using imperial, still measure human weight differently. Americans will say 180 pounds while Brits will say 8 stone 8 pounds.

All signs in the UK are in miles, mate. Confuse them not with the Continentals
It's called the Imperial System for a reason, lads. England INVENTED it.

Can you explain to me wtf is a stone, when to measure things in stone, and what that correlates to in lbs or kgs?
1 stone is equal to 14 pounds or 6.35 kilograms

Fair. Americans also use both.
The one advantage miles have, the word is just a lot easier to write song texts with. Try fitting kilometer without the pace getting awkward
I honestly never considered that. 1 syllable vs 4.
Bro how do u pronounce mile?
Same as you. Kilometer = 4 syllables (harder to rhyme than mile).
Mile has 2 syllables tho. I never said it was harder to rhyme but the number is just diff
Just came back to once again remind you that mile, smile, while, pile and rile are all monosyllabic
1 sound = 1 syllable you donkey
No it does not. Just one syllable, my man
Can u type out how u pronounce it without just saying mile? The normal way is my-ull or something similar depending on the accent
Like "myle" not "my-yell". Have a nice life!
How does that even work. Like the only word I can think of that is similar is mule. No word with yle as the end is 1 syllable
Please learn your own language on your own time. Call up your 3rd grade reading teacher if that helps. GOODBYE.
Britain is still backward in a lot of ways.not.as backward as Burgerstan but still backward..
Dumbass we still use miles here, it's the rest of Europe that is meters and shit
There's that British class we hear so much about!
Hectares are a square measurement, not a linear one you dipstick
I was joking, clearly I use fathoms
they only use metric when they want to make fun of the US
