We’re taught both metric and US customary units in school. I prefer metric for most things, to the point I have a metric-only tape measure among other things.

However, I’ll die on the hill that Fahrenheit is superior for ambient air temperature. 0 degrees to 100 degrees neatly encompasses the range of average surface temperatures seen throughout the year in the contiguous US.

    This is the way.

    I was raised needing a yardstick with inches on one edge and centimeters on the other, and the words “'Merika, Great Britain fuck yeah!” scrawled along the center.

    (Edit: I crossed out 'Merika, so now you can borrow my yardstick.)
