Don’t blame them. It’s really complicated for them, you need to multiply or divide by 10th to convert. That’s Math! Don’t try to explain that to someone who uses his Feet to measure things. At least NASA uses the metric system (because they know is better), but don’t tell that to US Americans.
We have a really hard time understanding decimal points. Like, you can just move them and it changes the scale? That sounds like ~~communism~~ woke nonsense.
Whereas fractions are entirely clear to every American. Like, which drill but is biggest: 7/64, 3/32 or 1/8?
