Is there an official preferred measurement system? I noticed someone went through Statuesque Stunner and zapped all the imperial measurements and replaced them with metric rather than simply adding the missing one.

Oh, gods, not this sort of argument again.

  • If a story provides measurements, use the units in the story if it ever becomes relevant to trope examples.
  • It is far from "all" the measurements: I see plenty of Imperial units still on the page.
  • The listing of precise measurements for fictional characters comes across as just a bit creepy.
