    This meme implies there’s an equal battle between MM/DD/YY and DD/MM/YY, which is nonsense. Much like imperial units, only 'murica uses MM/DD/YY.

        No one I know measures their own weight in imperial.

          When talking about cultural mindshare I’d argue that the quantity of people matters more than the space they’ve been packed into

            Mercator can say whatever it wants, it’s not involved in this discussion.

    • Liberia and Myanmar also use imperial units, but they’re both starting to move towards metric in recent years so soon the US truly will be alone in that
