Logic in American style: a joke about units of measurement in the USA
This video is a fun look at how the US uses a variety of strange units of measurement. From feet and yards to gallons and inches, this system can really blow your mind!
Unlike the metric system, where all units are multiples of ten (1 meter = 100 centimeters), the US system often uses illogical ratios (1 foot = 12 inches), which complicates calculations.
One of the main reasons why the US has not yet switched to the metric system is the huge financial costs of replacing equipment and retraining staff.
In some US states, price tags in stores show the price without sales tax, which is only added at the checkout. This is another feature that often confuses people.
