There's something about the internet that makes people want to moan in public about nothing.

Whenever I see someone in a current British television show use "inches" or "feet," I'm reminded of the HN metric mafia that insists that the United States is the only place in the world that uses imperial units.

Even Wikipedia will tell you that's false.
