km/h lady, km/h. Or m/s at least.
Cool. Still a speed and not a velocity.
As one of the Americans, home of useless made up measurements, I've made an effort to get used to using Celsius at least, mostly just by using weather reports that use it. And while it hasn't provided much utility living here other than understanding comments made by foreigners occasionally, I do like the system so much better.
This next year I'll start trying to familiarize myself with length/distance.
I love how metric works so much better. It definitely hits a happy spot in my brain for organization.
Due to living here I can't just forget the murican system, but it would be nice not to try to need a conversion lookups every time I hear a story about something that happens somewhere else.
I’ve made an effort to learn just so I can better understand these dumb fucking European insults.
It’s the same as a dumb American going to France to complain about the French language.
