Absolutely correct. But they say 'inch' and 'feet' too so don't expect any logical reasoning. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
How is metric logical? Feet and inch have roots in nature, a human foot and thumb width. What the hell is a centimeter? Its artificial as fuck. And the funny thing is us dumb Mericans do understand both imperial and metric, yet all you imperial haters clearly are so smart that you can only understand metric. Why the hell do you or anyone care what measurement system we use anyway?
Yeah, typical american reaction. You never disappoint. But talking about the foot. Which foot are you measuring this by exactly? Baby foot, adult male foot? And why is no other nation using it?
Before standardizing the measurements, it would have been the foot of those who needed to measure things, ie adult males. Such a fucking pathetic qurestion. And I dont give a fuck why others dont use it. Not my concern what anyone uses to measure. I understand both so makes no difference to me

I never understood why we Americans call it football. Not much to debate really.
I don't understand what the dilemma is all about... There is even a specially designated position for the guy who "kicks" the egg every once in a while. On average, the actual play time is about 11 min for the whole game, and the kicker gets to get in and participate so there is some kicking involved for a few seconds out of the 11 min of actual play.

Or maybe Americans can uplevel traditional Handball to something with more padding and tackling.
That was one of the most 'X-like' responses I've seen on Nostr. Are you alright sir?
The shitty thing is that the word โ€œsoccerโ€ was invented / used first by UK, not USA ๐Ÿ˜œ
