1kg = 2.21 pounds
30cm = 1 foot
I'm Canadian so I have to deal with metric and imperial.

I don't get math, either!
But ok: 163,54 lb and 5 feet and 8½ inches!
Just shy of triple digits....in kilograms...

~210 lbs... ergo 95 kg - I should lose about 5 of the kgs... ergo 11? lbs
I expected that a lot people on here were heavier^^ You know like those stereotypical gamer-faties ;P

If you go to college and take a math related major you learn the metric system even in the USA. The ones that do, know it is by far superior to the , "imperial" system. America needs to switch, now!

Except in America no one cares what other countries do, we also do not care about other languages as long as we can speak our own badly.
So even though we are taught metric things, does not mean that we like it. Although it would be a lot easier. Still would never want i t to happen! Same with driving on the right side of the road, which makes sense. |
Well in all seriousness America is such a large and financially wealthy country it is easy to ignore other ways of doing things. No other country has the benefit of having the worlds most widely spread language, American, most widely spread culture, and the things I mentioned above. Europe is filled with small countries and many cultures with different languages living close together, so of course in the modern world they need to know more about geography, other nations current events, and languages because it is a requirement to function in such small countries located so close to many very different cultures. Americans are very unique in that we can speak only English and do our own thing to get by and remaining the worlds current dominant power.Our biggest neighbor and ally is Canada which is very, very similar in culture, so it also does not require as much learning of the on goings of our neighbors
I hardly would say we speak it badly as language constantly evolves throughout history and to think one form is more proper than the other is ludicrous. It will forever be evolving.
But most of all I think driving on the right sound of the road is the natural order of things, period.
71kg and I refuse to look up how much that is in weird, senseless and convoluted weighing measures :-p
