I think I must've drunk about 20 liters of tea the last few days. (I have no idea what that would be in American measurements but who cares) Liquid + hot = should be good against stupid colds, right? Well, my cough doesn't quite sound like a TBC victim anymore, so I'm gonna thank the tea and the rest for that, and I guess I'll go back to work

20 liters ~ 5 gallons

(A liter is essentially a quart, which is a quarter of a gallon.)

One of the funny things about being an American with a science degree is I can now think in metric and standard, though my ability to rattle off conversion factors unsettles other people.

Haha! Thanks! I still wonder why we can't use the same units worldwide - but then again I don't want to use yours and I'm pretty sure that feeling is mutual ;)
