Any science-related piece of text should use international standard units, period.
I really find it absurdly arrogant from american writers to use their broken system for scientific material, knowing the rest of the whole god damn world is already forced to use english for scientific communication.
As a non-native person reading and writing english all day long, this makes me infuriated every single time. I feel like being shown a middle finger.
Automated website translation software will sometimes try to translate dates into ‘English’ so 04.01.2023 becomes 01/04/2023.
I can see a time where it‘ll start trying to do the same for other units and the large numbers of metric using English-speakers will have to put up with 1600 km being translated to 1000 miles.
