@Fuguruma Rin: I have no problem with America using different measurements & never said that, I just said that they are weird i.e. they differ from the standard. And yes I know americans use them in school; that's exactly why I wrote "if you're American or British (and not studied natural sciences) I can understand a slight awkwardness with SI standard". Since they are mostly used in those areas; math, physics, chemistry... If you haven't studied much in those fields, you probably less familiar with it. And thus not familiar with SI-prefixes either. So the beef wasn't with the non-metric units, it was about the faulty use of 'kk' which doesn't exist. I just got a little sidetracked :/ I don't know exactly what other countries use non-metric units. I guess former British colonies? Which also would be the reason you Americans use many of them, although with slightly different definitions... Why make things simple lol. You could probably google that
