Yeah, no. Knowing a different measuring system isn't gonna make me suddenly want to know the nitty-gritty details of things. The way water volume/use is measured in the US has nothing to do with how much people understand their water bill. If I really wanted to I'd just find something online to help me convert. Which I'd probably do on the other system because that's just reality. You know those things because you care about them or were interested not because you use what you consider to be a superior system of measurement lol. You guys really try hard to make it seem like a way bigger deal than it is.

of course you are free to be interested or not. But given the necessities of the transofrmation in energy, water, land use, transportation etc. i find it crucial to be able to relate to the political discussion to make an informed choice. I know most people aren't interested. But given that we are in a technological society we cannot afford not to relate to these things.
