#destiny 2 #I first noticed this in one of the Lightfall collectors edition lorebooks #Ikora used the word 'inch' and the writer side of my brain went 'hmmmmmm'#at first I thought the imperial system only survived as a figurative sense #like just some words to use in a sentence #like an 'inch' purely meant 'a small measurement' and not as a real system #so I begun to dig deeper via Ishtar to see if I could find the system actually being used #found this bad boy and went 'my job here is done:#a more personal fun fact #I did all this research just to see if I needed to use cm to refer to my characters heights or use feet like the normal American I am #and yknow what #bungie probably didn't put a lick of thought into this kinda thing when okay-ing the lore #they're just an American developer so ofc there will be American bias in text #BUT THE IMPLICATIONS #this should also be reason why bungie should hire me for lore twam #pls bungo I want to get out of retail #what do I need to do to make you notice me
