Units of measurement actually proved to be the biggest language barrier when I was in a relationship with an Australian woman.

You mean it wasn't the whole "Let's go to Mackas, have some tucker and a grog, then get a Darwin stubby, get bombed out and finish off the evening with an ol' bangaroo like a possum up a gum tree" thing?

I don't believe you.

So you can't spell their or divide by 10 . But I do know you watched the episode of Sesame Street hosted by Rush Limbaugh.

Nah, it was much cuter than that, like when she called the bathroom the "loo" and referred to a flashlight as a "torch."

Actually those terms can be heard in the UK as well. "Dunny" is the Australian word for bathroom. I learned this from the Wild Thornberries

Actually I was in Australia to proselytize the virtues of being from the best planet on Earth, I will have you know. It's unfortunate I had to stoop to their level for a moment, but that's life.

America... I guess maybe you did need to learn the language of the devil if
your intent was to convert them to 'Murcan

I wasn't trying to convert them to the 'Murican race, just rub it in their face that my freedom is louder than theirs. We have enough people in this country.

It's funny because after I left there was an increase in threads such as this one and the one I linked earlier that I suspect OP also made.

Coincidence? I think not.

Plus it's pretty stupid but to get to Fiji, you had to stop in Australia first.

The ratonale behind metric is brilliant. One liter of water weighs one kilo, it takes one kilocalorie of energy to raise the temperature of that water one degree celcius. One liter is 1000 cubic centimeters.

Didn't the U.S. government try to make a switch to metric in the 70's and it failed miserably?

Its just been used for so long its hard to adjust, but it really does make more sense to use metric. Just like how it makes sense for scientists to use latin terms.

this sure had me laughing for awhile

so they tried... and failed

how the fuck can it fail
