@kybermace @HarryNuggets I WILL ELABORATE
EVERYONE WHO USES METRIC SYSTEM HAS TO PAY ROYALTIES TO FRANCE
THE FRENCH HOLD THE COPYRIGHT TO THE METRIC SYSTEM AND EVERY USER OF IT GETS A SMALL AMOUNT OF TAX MONEY AUTOMATICALLY DEDUCTED FROM THEIR INCOME
THAT MONEY GOES TO THE FRENCH FOR THEM TO BE MORE SMUG

THE ORIGINAL METER, CALLED IN FREMCH LE METRE ETALON -- IS STORED IN FRANCE AND EVERY COUNTRY THAT USES METRIC HAD TO SEND A GUY WITH A YARDSTICK OUT TO FRANCE TO GET A COPY OF THE METRE MARKED ON IT
