So many shit heads, who have no clue about anything in life seem to comment on youtube.
Metric system = FRENCH, what anyone who is sane in mind uses
English system = What the USA uses
When Rick says "meters in English is what" means he's asking, what is the English systems conversion for "Meters".
You dumbasses want to know why he asked that?
Because the show caters to a US audience...and heres a big shock, the US uses the English system of measurement not the Metric system.

When I started doing English-language proofreading and editing of documents for the oil & gas industry here in Indonesia I was amazed to see that everybody - including the Indonesians - customarily refers to feet and inches (along with barrels, which is another elderly specialized measurement index). It comes out of what was predominantly an American discipline, and has stuck around.
Come to think of it, there's some of this in aviation too. Pilots often refer to altitude in feet.

Uh yaa, Burma, Liberia... and what's that other glorious techno-paradise where miles meet feet meet gallons pints & pounds? Oh yeah Murka.
No wonder nobody wants to buy their farking exports. (Very old story here, I know)

Why is it that i live in Australia where the logical metric system rules yet i hear the kids of today using units they are not taught in school such as inches, feet, miles, pounds ?#*$%# It leaves me very vexed that because the USA is so full of pride and controls most modern media that our kids are regressing. Im sorry but for all you Americans who think the metric system is hard, you have obviously never looked into it. Its a joke, the reason we all switched was for simplicity.
