Stupid little things that bug you

The yanks got most of their shit from UK, measurements still in use today, refrigeration is still measures in tons, horse power, there's yards, inches, deg F, British Thermal units for heat, inches water gauge for resistance etc etc.

Britain has abandoned all these.
Abandoning inches of water for resistance was probably a decent move, to be fair.

Yeah, we’re frequent visitors to the US, and it takes a bit of getting used to all the imperial measurements each time we go over there.
