I appreciate the metric system for functionality’s sake but it just doesn’t flow as romantically when used in narrative

“he ran kilometer after kilometer, until the sun dipped into the horizon”

“his father was the meterstick against which he measured his worth”

“her heart beat faster with every 25 millimeters he approached”

enourmo said: “On a clear day you can see for kilometers” “hedwig and the angry 2.5cm”

♪ BUT I WOULD WALK 804.672 KILOMETERS AND I WOULD WALK 804.672 MORE JUST TO BE THE MAN WHO WALKED 1609.34 KILOMETERS TO FALL DOWN AT YOUR DOOR.

The real reason Americans kept the customary system: aesthetic.
