American English, like the rest of our standards, is one of the best languages. People consider it hard to learn because it's so flexible but it's also more normalized and plain than any other language. Counting to 100 in any European garbage language shows how fucked their systems are. The French, especially, have cultural language police that REFUSE to let the language evolve to better interface with modern life.
Same with Imperial. It's just a better system. It's why they hate it so much. They gave a bunch of nerds high positions in society and a lot of money over centuries and they all produced a bunch of fashionable uninformed non-working bullshit. Meanwhile the busy working people put together a system that gets work done and is no more complex than their system. They've just never been able to admit this or get over it.
Fuckin' eurotrash. They all already know English. They just refuse to use it. Zero service in those people. Never go there never spend your money there.
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie. Be honest, the US only uses that medieval system because it has to be different from Europe and the rest of the world in every way it possibly can. Same for Fahrenheit, AC voltage and frequency, AKI fuel octane number, UL standards, etc.
We get it, you're not Europe anymore but you can relax and stop torturing yourselves now because it's been 500 years. People have died because you can't properly convert the units the rest of the world uses into whatever convoluted mess you came up with.
