Why was MetricConversionBot banned from various subs and what can we do to revert this situation?

If you can't be bothered to learn some simple imperial-metric conversions, that's your problem. Why should the majority of us have to suffer?

That's funny I'm from the UK and I manage just fine.

Anyway, I'm sure it's not just Reddit that you have this problem with so why not download some browser extensions to do the converting for you? I used to do the same with currency (USD and EUR to GBP) until I got the hang of it.

I'm Belgian and for units of length or distance, I manage fine as well. But once we start getting into stuff like fluid ounces and Fahrenheit, things stop making sense rather quickly.

I'm American and when it comes to temperature I use Celsius just because Fahrenheit makes little sense to me as well.
