      What irony. In this case, literally no metric practitioners would use metric. They would use a mix of metric distance and imperial time which is just bizarre.

      Feet per minute makes sense to most. Meters per hectosecond is inscrutible. I have yet to see a metric clock in my long life and I’m from a metric country.

      Well, I’m going to call it a day, or to you metric fans, an 86.4 kiloseconds.

            Yes. Or go with 25mm/s in that case, but because metric is trivial to move up/down to different sized units that is simple to do.

            Meanwhile in imperial, fuck knows. 12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to a yard and then some number over 1000 yards to a mile.

            Even worse with volume, which fucking gallon are you using? There are different ones! It might be (vaguely close to) 3.5L, or 4.5L! I think there might even be another one somewhere.
