I personally think its hilarious, how the americans always say, that they dont use the metric system. When in reality its already there and some are using it without knowing xD -The entire medical field uses metric units. When interacting with patients certain data, such as their height and weight, is presented in imperial units. -The US military uses metric extensively to ensure interoperability with allied forces (STANAG). Ground forces have measured distances in "klicks", slang for kilometers, since 1918. Most military firearms are measured in metric units, beginning with the M-14 which was introduced in 1957, although there are a few exceptions, such as .50-caliber guns. -In the US, handguns chambered for 9mm ammunition are best sellers in the civilian market, 9mm is metric. -She earns "80k" a year. "k" means kilo, like in kilometer=1000meter or kilogramm=1000gramm, that "k" is metric, the imperial version is "grand". -Cars are now universally built with metric parts, due to globalization of manufacturing. Build in metric, advertised in imperial. -Gemstones and pearls are sold in metric carats. -The metric units ampere, volt, ohm and coulomb for electricity and energy are the only units used. -Consumer-size photographic film is commonly sold in a 35 mm standard (24×36 mm negative), although print sizes and large format films are defined in inches. -Wine is sold in standard bottles of 750 mL, as in the rest of the world. A fifth of liquor, once one-fifth of a U.S. gallon, or 757 mL, is now commonly 750 mL, though it is still referred to as "a fifth". -Newer units introduced by engineers and scientists from the 18th century onwards, such as volts, megapixels, and kilotons and megatons of TNT, are generally formulated in terms of powers of 10 of the metric system. In short, the US uses both, they just dont want to admit it. xD
A Stone is 14lbs and is primarily used to measure the mass of People, not sure if they measure animals anymore in stones, probably KG or lbs or tonne + lbs.
fun fact, boning could also be you and you best friend hitting each other with the knee in the side of the othr persons legg. Don`t ask me why its jsut what we did when we wehre like 12-14 boys stuff I guess
The most interesting freedom unit I even seen is foot-pound or the equivalent of Joules (or N*m), the unit for energy. There is also Rankine, absolute zero scale but in increments of Fahrenheit instead of Celsius like Kelvin. Just the absolute obstinacy to keep Imperial units in science.
We call them short names, (the real word for it is diminutive names) and there is a few of them that dont make sense. There's Lloyd= Eddie, James=Jim, Robert=Bob, Richard=Dick or Dickie, William=Bill, Margaret= Peggy, Lawrence=Larry, Elizabeth= Belle, Micheal=Mike, Dorothy=Dot, Oliver= Noll, Barbara =Babs. Victoria=Vicky. Ect. My name isnt really Danny, Its Daniel but every one calls me Danny.
The Golem shooted the rock once per game in early versions. But Korean users argued that "The golem froze himself!" Now you are watching one of the results.
For anyone who thinks Henya is faking on language stuff, the "infection will kill" conversation is super reasonable in Japanese and is a fairly reasonable mistake when translating to English.
