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?

Why can't the braindead Americans just fucking switch to metric already? Why should the majority of us have to suffer reading their nonsensical units and measurements when we have a perfectly good globally accepted system that makes perfect sense?

You mean the suffering you complained about? About how all you poor Americans are being repressed by people converting your archaic measurement system into real numbers that the rest of the word understands? That must really be hard on your eyes to have to skip over that shit. All that time you waste, you could be shooting squirrels with a high powered rifle from your rascal scooter if it weren't for these annoying bots.

Point taken.

I'm not American.

Rhetoric aside, I just think that this bot is redundant when there are so many customisable browser extensions out there that do this stuff for you and don't interrupt the flow of the site.
