Yes, for years Americans have been flaunted for being different because their systems are just plain weird. Europe uses the meter and kilometer, and so on, which are all factors of 10, while the U.S. uses the mile, inch, and yard, which are factor of nothing easy to remember. Europe uses Celcius (Centigrade) which is easy to remember (0 is freezing) whereas Americans use Farenheight (32 is freezing). Europeans use the Euro, which is by far stronger and much cooler than the dollar.
But now, i have discovered an instance where the European version is not better than the american version! Yes, Sales Tax! Or at least that is how American's call it. In europe, it is V.A.T. I don't know what that stands for, but it is much easier to remember Sales Tax than what V.A.T. stands for. So take that Europe, Sales Tax > V.A.T.!!!!
