How far is a mile? How heavy is a stone? And why does nobody seem to agree on anything?
In this episode of Grits and a Brit, the GRITS and the Brit dive into the wonderfully confusing world of measurements. From miles vs kilometers to pounds vs stones, and the mysterious mix of imperial and metric, it’s a transatlantic struggle to make sense of numbers that should be simple… but aren’t.
Why does the UK use a bit of everything? Why does the US refuse to switch? And who actually understands what 70°F feels like without Googling it?
Expect bafflement, debates, and plenty of “that means absolutely nothing to me” moments as we try (and fail) to measure up.
