Edit Reason: Grammar

I find it funny how SOME Americans think of Europeans when they think of things the rest of the world do but that USA doesn't. Example: "metric system? Oh that's clearly an European-only thing". This is just one example out of many, mind you.
Europe truly lives rent free in your heads, huh? Everytime those guys think foreigners or non-Americans, they instantly assume "Europeans!".
By the way, since we are now speaking of metric, you should know that NASA uses metric. So don't say "imperial system got us to the moon" because that's a lie.
EDIT: to clarify, I'm not saying that the USA as a whole should start using metric. They are not going to do that any time soon (if ever). And yes, I know it was the British who invented the imperial system (they started using metric in the 60s, tho), not the Americans.
EDIT 2: and yes, I know that USA isn't the only country in the world who still uses imperial. Lyberia (a former American colony in Africa) and Myanmar/Burma (an Asian country) also use it. Altought in 2013 the Myanmar goverment said that it was preparing to adopt the metric system, and nowadays both imperial and metric are used. Canada also uses both systems.
