@lord_ryvan @BonesOfTheMoon, I don't understand how it can be in the 21st century that a system as idiotic and archaic as the imperial one continues to be used. NASA has already caused millions of dollars in damage by crashing several probes due to miscalculations with these outdated and devoid of any logic measurements, based on parts of the body of a king, dead centuries ago instead of clear physical and mathematical units as in the rest of the world.
I also don't get it and my country is slowly adapting it too (Netherlands)
I absolutely hate it and try to counter it actively
