I was wondering, this is a small thing but, what if they gave us the ability to toggle meters/kilometers, and KG to Feet, pounds, for those of us who are used to the american imperial system. I love numbers, but I really do not want to go through 155 dragons to find out how tall, or long they are.
I'm not sure how easy this would be, and probably dumb to ask so xD

The site is American, yet the devs were so nice to use the international units in favor of most of the world. While I think it could be nice to make it toggleable for those stuck with other measurements, my concern is that every time weight/length would be measured in the forums the thread would be chaotic as different units would clash, plus many users would forgot to add the unit, leading to more chaos. That being said the sizes are not really a huge part of the game, so this chaos wouldn't necessarily be damaging, rather irritating.

Personally I would love this, because I have a hard time visualizing measurements in the first place, and I am more familiar with the American measurements. Having the ability to toggle them, or even have both on there, would be a simple thing to do, and would only be a matter of adding conversion formulae to the site.
While users can convert the measurements themselves, having to go through however many dragons and manually convert each and every measurement can be a rather daunting task.
As for it causing confusion, it could, but honestly, I doubt very many people would even care, or notice.

I support a toggle. I don't see it as causing chaos in the forums. At all. I think this would be a nice QoL feature.

If writers are supposed to "show not tell," why are we called "storytellers" and not "storyshow-ers"?
I would be happy with just having both listed, to be honest. I don't really see how it matters, because 77 ft and 23 meters (the wingspan of one of my Imperials) seem about as obscure lengths either way.
My brain just translates both as: big.

one of the things for me is that I can go get a ruler/tape measure and easily see how long one foot is, and so estimate, but it is harder for me to find easy to read metric measurements.

Yeah a toggling thing for us, so only we could see it and we can turn it off if needed. It would be done completely, and the same numbers would be able to be matched up, I don't think it would be to hard for the system to do, or cause much issues with it

Or like mentioned, having both there, It could just make things visually easier for several of us.

Indifferent to this change bc it's impossible for me to picture how big things are anyway; is there any official document on interpreting sizes? Like, "this fae is the size of a ladybug, compared to this Imperial, which is a street long" anyway... Pokémon had something like this, which helped visually
