Our own media is also wedded to using olympic swimming pools, African elephants, jumbo jets and able to power powering X houses as measures of volume, weight and energy as they seem completely ignorant of the metric system that anybody with a brain can understand but in the American's case they are still using their own archaic measurement system of 1,000s of pounds, undersized 'US gallons', feet & yards and other such oddball units so perhaps they're hoping to simply things for the rest of the metricated world.

Hint: They refer to both long haul transporters and utility vehicles as 'trucks' so their definition falls over on that detail from the get go.
