....talking about American English VS British English, for some reasons I find it funny every time I hear British kids speaking American English in their heavy British accent 🙂
Something American's and British have in common is the language.
Yap!, and it's weird how they use some different words, but with the same meaning. Very Interesting.

Kama hujaenda marekani si ww banaHebu tupe statistics tafadhali...tunataka a scietific research sio kuona watu wawili ama watatu wamefanya hivyo basi unajererolaizi.
Kwa hiyo!?Kuna katabia kamezuka miaka ya hivi karibuni kwa wanawake wajawazito Wakitanzania (na hata sehemu zingine za Afrika) wakifikia karibu na muda wa kujifungua wanaenda Marekani. Tena wengine utakuta wanatoka nchi za Ulaya kama Uingereza na kuja Marekani kuzalia. WTF?
Wanakaa hadi wanajifungulia huko. Wakishajifungua hao wanarudi zao huko walikotoka. Sielewi kwa nini wanafanya hivyo lakini sababu naijua. Nyinyi wadau mnalionaje hili? Ni jambo jema au ni jambo linaloendeleza ile dhana ya Miafrika na jinsi ilivyo....
Kwa hiyo!?

stone is also an imperial system.
almost whole world has stopped using the imperial system.
scientists use the metric system I.e gram, metre, °C etc because its better and logical.
its the Americans who should change.
if we dare go back to using imperial units just because the Great America uses them, I'll just die. and we might as well go back to using roman numbers.
