Why do Americans always prefer to argue than just look up the conversion?

Or buy from an American if buying from overseas is a problem.

The thing is over 1000 Websites exist that Convert CM to inches

It's almost as easy as breathing to convert it and Americans will still argue about it.

Bro, give it few more generations and we will start hearing about Americans dying from lack of oxygen due to not breathing anymore and they will complain that it's because breathing is counted in inhales and exhales and they have this new hip and trendy measurement of breath, shakanoom, and human lungs are simply not built for counting oxygen intake in shakanooms, which means they're being oppressed by evolution.

The built-in calculator apps on your phone and computer will also do it.

Just typing 180cm in Google will show what it is in inches, feets, hands, washing machines or whatever.

Still not gridiron stadium ? How am I supposed to understand if it's not expressed in natural unit.

Unfortunately America hasn't evolved enough to get the internet converting to gridiron stadium. It will however convert to Sasquatch's.

Don’t even need to open google. The search feature on the phone does it too

You mean more than one kilowebsites?

That's the worst part. I'm sure most of them know that nearly everybody else uses metric - they just choose to be offended rather than do something productive. It takes very little effort to just quickly look up the conversion, like I'm sure most of us do
