I have a conversion app on my phone for this exact reason. Too many recipes in American measurements left me frustrated and ruining food. There needs to be a universal system.
OH MY GOD.

- I just think it's weird when someone who lives in michigan and has lived there, their whole life is saying things like "Just go out into the car park and you'll find my keys in the boot."
My characters tend to have a British aspect to then because I don't like American words and prefer our own. And even if my character is American, the narrative is in British English with spelling and words but the dialogue matches its nationality.
