Let us also not forget that Celsius's original scale had water boiling as 0 degrees, and freezing as 100 degrees! It was the botanist Linnaeus who turned it around to make the final version.

Imperial is fun.. 1760 yards in a mile you say? I shall sneer and laugh in my sophisticated old-world manner :D
Dora's second to last reaction face killed me!
Great comiiiiic.
pwhodges:
How many different lengths of mile can you think of? You have ten seconds...
When you've done that, try the same for the weight of an ounce... volume of a pint...

I suspect "Faye's" texts both came from Pintsize. Forging SMS messages would be right up his street.

I dunno...at the second message (or First!), there would've be implications of overt sexual acts that would've made Dora throw her phone into traffic in disgust. OMG, JUST LEZ OUT ALREADY!! or something similar. He would get to the point already and just say it.
The ones sent by Faye is tame by Pintsize standards.

Ugh... nautical mile and... do they say "long" and "short" mile?
I know itīs done with ton. Long ton, short ton, metrical ton (tonne?).
Anyway, we use pounds too for foodstuffs and such.
For all I know the german navy uses sea-miles and knots and what not so...
