 My feels is I should write my book called 

Millie the millipede who explains to #USA children to get on the metric system like the rest of the world 🌍 😂🙏 
 I think this millipede forgot to convert to imperial units lol

 In my degrees of illusion 
There is no excuse for me
I am who and what I am 
The world has changed so 
We must acclimate or take over

 I love these discussions when they come up. I used to work on rigs in the north sea. What a mess. Both at the same time. Drilling in meters (still measured daily progress as footage so reports read "footage: 75m"), pressures in psi, torque in footpounds and flow rates in GPM with bitsize in mm. People get so would up with these things, work in it, get a calculator and honestly, who cares! But seriously, metric is just easier. Decimalisation simplifies. Right, time to run, I need to buy a dozen eggs 
 Eat eggs 🥚 and other things 
Be healthy 
All the ways 
We winning with all things all ways 
 Great idea 💜🤣🫡
