Ok so I was going through some character bios as I was planning on making one of my own. I noticed that every bio that I looked at specified weight and height in imperial units.
What's up with that? I thought we were fighting against the empire
What's up with the imperial system?

Re: What's up with the imperial system?
I see all different kinds of measurements being used, from lbs to pounds to kilos centimeters to feet/inches, so this strikes me as an odd observation.
Besides,
*sniffs haughtily*
the meter/kilo system is superior in every way.

A forum post should be like a skirt;
long enough to cover the subject material,
but short enough to keep things interesting.

Ah good. I just wanted to make sure an imperial agent wouldn't pay me a visit if I used the metric system.

Pounds and Feet all the way! I'm a "Stubborn" American that refuses to change to metric!

Re: What's up with the imperial system?
Technically a European here too but im a mm,inches,feet,metre,miles,pounds,stones abomination. Was brought up in the era of change over here in UK then we didn't go full decimal and ended up all confuddled lol.
And Americans don't count cause they make it up as they go ie 1 gallon=4.54 litres but in USA its 1 gallon=4 *liters* (how you get a gallon from a cat tray component I don't know ) They even changed paper sizes just to be awkward
