    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.

      “Well the metric version is”

      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?
