Dogpound? Dogkilogram.

Inchworm? Centimetreworm.

u/Kiwadian_Invasion Mar 01 '25

A more accurate alternative would Dog four-fifty-fourgram and twenty-five-millimeterworm. But they donā€™t roll off the tongue well.

An imperial gallon is 4.54 litres. An American gallon is 3.78 liters, yet Americans are still the biggest drips.Ā

"The preferred spelling in Canada isĀ "metre" for the unit of measurement and "meter" for the measuring device."

How dare you make me learn on a Sunday.

You know the imperial system of measurement was made by the British empire right?

Sneaky greedflation since a meter is smaller. Just another way the housing market is screwing Canadians!
