I was today years old when it dawned on me that it’s called a quart because there are four of them in a gallon.

(Darlings, I realize this is somewhat obvious when you think about it. That was, in fact, what I intended to be gently wryly funny in sharing this moment of clarity with all of you. It need not be further pointed out to me.)

It really does say everything you need to know about America that the rest of the world says “yes, we will adopt a system of measurement that is sensible and easy to understand” and we’re like “nope!”
