I’m not ignoring your point. I’m saying your point is irrelevant. This is a unit in use today, with “metric” in its English name. I don’t care that it isn’t part of what is colloquially called “the metric system.” That wasn’t the point.
But don’t worry, next time I think to myself, “I could reply with a fun bit of trivia I know and make a comment that is both correct and also not at all what the person I’m replying to means or expects,” I’ll first ask myself, “What would Dasus say?”
Just because some niche unit uses metric prefixes doesn’t mean that that unit is “in the metric system” as language is used.
Learn to use language pls.
Weird how when you open that “metric system” link your pedantry is nowhere to be seen, almost as if by and large “metric” refers to the SI-system, isn’t it? Oh I’m sorry, you can’t answer that with “yes”, because it would mean that you stop pretending like you don’t know what I mean, which you simply can’t do.
Weird how I never once said metric horsepower was part of “The Metric System” and how I also gave the kW value in my very first post.
It’s not that I don’t know what you mean, my friend, it’s that I am not using the word metric the same way you are. That’s the whole point. You can say colloquial all you want! I never disagreed! You can talk about by and large all you want! You’re not wrong!
Metric horsepower is a metric unit, it’s in the name. Whether it’s an SI-unit or part of “the metric system” is completely irrelevant. I am technically correct, the best kind of correct.
I am shocked we’re arguing about this. Again, I apologize for trying to have fun on the internet, I promise it won’t happen again.
Oh, so you’re just reconfirming you don’t speak English. Ok. Best of luck, we can try again in a few years. I can link you some Simple English channels if you’d like?

And you’re wrong.

“Well the metric version is”
