The British are sending 5,000 troops. We fight for a new nation where we choose our own laws, leaders, and systems of weights and measures. We dream of measuring weights in pounds and calling 2,000 pounds a ton. £1,000 will have no word. We will measure liquids in liters and milliliters, except for milk and paint, which will use gallons, pints, and quarts. Distance will be measured in inches, feet, yards, and miles. There will be 12 inches to a foot and 3 feet to a yard. Nobody knows how many yards are in a mile. In popular sports like track and swimming, we will use meters and kilometers, but in football, we will use yards. Football is a sport where you throw a ball with your hands and sometimes kick it for points. We will have rulers with inches and centimeters, but they won't line up. We will use Fahrenheit for temperature, which will make sense to the world, and another random scale. We will get rid of British words like color and armor, but keep "glamour." Our dream is a melting pot of different measurements that will upset Europeans and create a land of liberty where all men are free.
