Oh my god get a new joke. The U.S. uses both systems just like everyone else.
Oh really? So if I send blueprints to a steel fabricator in metric, they will not have a problem with that? Lol try again.
Um, they wouldn't have a problem with that. That's exactly what I used to do, fabricate steel parts for companies like Liebherr and Komatsu, who would send us blueprints in metric. My coworkers and I actually preferred it.
I'm talking about architectural steel. Not mechanical engineering, structural. I-beams.
