Gee, maybe, just maybe, you could understand that people will default to using what they know and what is common to them, instead of thinking it's some attack on the rest of the world. I'm an American and I certainly wouldn't hold it against anyone from the rest of the world coming in and using metric because I realize other places use other measurements. I'm also quite capable of converting between other measurements. Hell, you used more energy to bitch about it than it would have taken to google it.
