Hey, I'm an American and I feel your pain. I wish we could standardize the English language. But I'm a grammar Nazi. While I support the metric system for its simplicity and ease of understanding, I must disagree with your assumption that BG "pre-dates" the metric system. It does not. It is a fantasy world that has no specific correlation to the real world's timeline. Who is to say that in this fantasy world they didn't create a similar method of measurements? Just my personal thought.
