You must have your head well buried if you think you can ignore 'the
metric system'. Whether you want it or not it's here.


And used by 96% of the world's population.


We don't ignore it. We're ****ed that pop comes in liters as a way of
fooling us into thinking it's a quart, so we don't mind paying more per
bottle. It would be only slightly less false if they called it a "metric
quart."

You do realize that a liter contains more than a quart?
