How pirates stole the metric system from America - photos

[DIYSwede]

Thank you, Philip for your kind reply.
When still "young and promising" I was educated in HM English, but have thru bad company picked up American English since 1978.

Pic is from "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_units"
"2/3 Thruppence" is just another bad pun of mine, as "2 cents" might trigger a few readers of this particular tread.

Thanks for corrections, also - I don't use auto-correct anywhere, so every fault is purely mine.
"Convertite" is also an intentionally bad pun - using the archaic/ obsolete term with its dual meaning of both a "convert" and a [DOCTORED].

"Abuse" has to be intentional - cannot thus be "eventual", is that it?

Cheers
Johan
