We don’t even use the same type of imperial either
If France could just lie for a few years and say that they’re adopting the British system, it might persuade us to finally metricise properly out of spite and I’d be extremely grateful to them
Not just tea-ville, but former tea-ville colonies also measure human height in feet and inched. And former tea-ville colonies make up a large portion of the human populace.
I live in New Zealand, we don’t use inches. In fact, you’re required to use metric if you’re selling a product, as that’s our official measurement system.
One person said the UK is using imperial measurements and you responded that this is wrong and showed in an example at the same time, why the original statement would be true
It’s what most of the world uses. Tea-ville and Yeehawland are the only two that typically use imperial still.

In Germany, we usually express height in meters and centimeters, like 1 meter 58 or 1 meter 88.
Only in informal communication. Medical software and official documents (like you ID card) usually use cm.
True, I didn’t think about that.
That makes a lot more sense to a 'Murican like me coming from imperial.
Feel free to say it any way you like, it makes no difference:
It’s all the exact same thing, nobody will bat an eye.
except it would be 1,58 meters
Don’t you guys use decimeters?
Rarely
That’s also quiet common, especially in engineering, which doesn’t use CM.

UK we use both
But no matter where you are you’d better add units!
Definitely, there’s no excuse for that.
Most of LondonThe UK uses Miles Per Hour for speed limits. That’s just the biggest example off the top of my head. Your assertion is inaccurate.Edit: A weird thing to downvote but ok. It’s more than just London, it’s the whole UK.
Didn’t downvote you but I’m guessing that’s covered by “Tea-ville” which could be why.
I’m in yeehawland and I loved the nicknames
That was not me.
What was not you?
