To Americans and Canadians… (1 Viewer)

How screwed would you be if everything suddenly changed to the metric system? The average Canadian would be less screwed than the average American but I still included Canadians because they aren’t fully metric all the time.

Id be kind of screwed but way less than the average American. Both in part to my education and what my family uses (though for metric it’s mostly just temperature, unless talking to my grandparents. But with them I rarely need to use units). I do also have a quick conversion for small lengths because I know there’s 30 cm in a foot.

I'm American and my partner is Korean. Fun times.

I wouldn’t be screwed unless we were talking about height

Very screwed because I'll have to learn math again

 

[StirFriedPanda]

I'd be on suicide watch...

To me, the metric system is easier, but I'm so used to the customary system that I'd be very screwed 😭😭😭

With the internet, all you have to do is look up the conversions...
But we work a lot with converting the imperial system to the metric system in chemistry and environmental science so I'm good with it
