    Please change your inferoir imperial system to our far superior metric system so that I can happily live in your country.

    Thank you.

    Isn't it 5280?

    But yeah, I prefer the metric system lol. Everything being based around ten makes it sooooo much easier.

    And can someone please inform me what the balls a "yard" is? I can wrap my head around "feet" pretty well, and I'm even starting to get "miles", but really. What is a "yard" and what purpose does it serve outside of the world of what you call "football" which has little to do with actual feet?

    See, this is what I mean! The 50 yard line in hand egg may as well be called the 150 foot line! Come to think of it, "150 foot line" sounds cooler than "50 yard line." WHY?!

    Because we are Americans and:
    1. we are too lazy to say that
    2. we don't comform, you comform to us. that's why we are a melting pot of different ethnic groups!

    (lol i merely jest) I actually have no idea to be honest... I just think we never got on the same ride as the rest of the world.

    speaking of rides, how come America is one of the very few countries that actually drives on the right side of the road with the steering wheel on the left side of the car?

    525600 minutes = a year

    I like round numbers, they make life easier. People still measure height in feet and I'm just like "How bigs a foot?" which then leads to sully conversations about the size of peoples shoes is proportional to stuff :.-.:

    Wait, so you guys use feet in relation to shoe size or do you still use some form of metric system?

    1. Comform isn't a word.
    2. I'm already American. I just hate our measurement system.

    Now why in the world would we switch to the metric system?? It's way harder, I mean you have to count in intervals of ten!!! Instead with our easy way of learning the measurements righting them down and forgetting them then having to go online look it up and then forgot why you looked it up forget it again remember later after it is too late and then repeat the process . . . why . . . would . . . we . . . want . . . to . . . change . . . that???? *0_0*

    Almost the entire world drives like that, except for the British, because they are lame.

    ._.

    The amount of countries that drive on the right hand side is more than double the amount that drive on the left.

    EDIT: herp derp, already been addressed. I guess it pays to look on the next page.
