I dont even bother with the imperial system, its idiotic. Are you kidding me? Our system makes more sense more of the time. Our units of measure are actual things. An inch is the width of your thumb. A foot is the length of your..... guess. A yard is the length of your stride. An ounce is what a shot of liquor comes in. A cup is what coffee comes in. A pint is what ale comes in. A quart is what a bottle of liquor comes in. A gallon is what milk comes in. And it's been that way for a LONG ASS TIME. Quick, imagine what ten gallons looks like, in your head. Bet your ass you just pictured ten milk jugs. Because our system makes more sense. Now imagine what 37.9 liters looks like! Oh, snap, it's like... THAT much. Metric is stupid. Imperial measures make more sense to more people more of the time. --- It's the fat upper kitty area, and if you got one I wanna marry ya! ... Copied to Clipboard!

As an American, I use an electric Kettle.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077J8YQYX/ My gas range is great(I hate electric ovens), but it doesn't boil 2 liters of water in under 3 minutes. --- Things will be different. ... Copied to Clipboard!

No, unless you were a horse owner like me, it would not. What did I say? More sense to more people more of the time. If I told you my horse was 152 centimeters, would that be more clear? --- It's the fat upper kitty area, and if you got one I wanna marry ya! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I used to boil water on the stove, and had never used the microwave.
I got an electric kettle last year. It was a game changer. I make tea regularly and it saves me a lot of time. And it has pleasing blue lights that turn on during the heating process and they turn off when it's ready. So nice. --- GT: xMythic Go Gators! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Disengaged posted...I dont even bother with the imperial system, its idiotic. Ive never been able to remember how many pints is in a quart or how many quarts are in a gallon.

Outline a situation where you would ever need to know that there's two pints in a quart. This is exactly my point. The strengths of the metric system simply don't happen in everyday life. Our system, once again, makes more sense more of the time.
Then outline a situation where somebody can't figure out that there's four QUARTS... QUARTERS..... in a gallon. --- It's the fat upper kitty area, and if you got one I wanna marry ya! ... Copied to Clipboard!
