I perhaps wasn't 100% clear.

I'm not suggesting English is a perfect representation of thoughts & concepts into strings of letters & punctuation, or that any one variant has tweaked it to be just right.

I'm complaining that the Rest Of The World has to contend with the dilution of metric terminology (by the regrettable rise of f.e. 'metric ton') that's being perpetrated by a nation state that doesn't even use metric.

The US uses a lot of metric, just not exclusively. Which is why we'd say 'metric ton' anyway. Otherwise we'd just say 'ton'.

I feel we are back to where we came in.
