It makes sense when you consider the fact that the Imperial system and the U.S. Customary Unit system are both descriptivized, using units based around specific real-world applications with no deliberate regard for interoperability. This mirrors how languages typically develop, except for French, and France is the cradle of the SI. Therefore if you support the metric system you also have to support linguistic prescriptivism or you’re a hypocrite, thank you for coming to my TED talk, I am not taking questions.
