    The US does it too, the other way around. They use fractions for a lot of things (3/8", half a foot, etc.) and then switch in decimals (like “2.5 inches”) when they think you’re not looking. Except for bullets for some reason which are in mm.

      Fractions and decimals are the same units though. It should be easy enough to convert between them as well

      Don’t forget about drug dealers slinging their grams and kilos.
