If the USA wants a system of measurement based entirely on water for temperature and mass, and distance as one millionth of the distance from the equator to the pole, then I'm sure they'll call.
How many meters are in 13.2 km? 13,200
How many feet are in 13.2 mi?
Break out a calculator
Why is my country so arrogant that they will argue for an objectively worse measurement system?
