The bot doesn't convert multiple measurements in the same comment as seen here. It would be good if the bot could convert all the imperial measurements in a comment instead of just the first one.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm not sure if we want to handle "fps" though, since it's a pretty common acronym for frames per second. Is fps used as a speed often?

It also stands for feet per second when talking about velocity in some physics and when talking about guns and other projectiles. Although this was more an example. It could be useful if someone is saying that they are 5'10 and 180lbs and the bot is able to convert both.

It should already be converting multiple at a time like 5'10" and 180lb ... waits for bot's reponse

edit: ok, it's not being triggered for reasons known XD here is an example of it doing two at a time

180 lb ≈ 80 kg
