    US uses both and is capable of conversion. It is unfortunate, but saying it doesn’t know powers of ten is pretty condescending.

        Word. “The us doesn’t know what powers of 10 are” just didn’t convey that clearly.

        We’re stuck with this shit for now, and one of the few positive things is that it forces you to understand both the conversions and power of 10 is cake compared to understanding both and converting.
