Description

This humorous piece explores the absurdity of America's resistance to the metric system, contrasting the country's rapid adoption of coffee-related metric terms like 'grande' with its stubborn adherence to traditional units like 'inches' and 'fathoms'. The author playfully imagines a future where coffee orders are replaced with nonsensical phrases like 'frippin on the jimjam' and wonders if this will be the catalyst for embracing metric conversions.
