Because then you would have to convert all the time between the two. Also, at some point, you would be speaking Greek to people when they ask what the temperature is if you were to say Fahrenheit.

Doesn't matter to me. I still prefer it over Celsius

If America switched from miles to kilometers, all hell would break lose..

I learned the metric system from weed.

3.5 grams = 1/8 ounce BITCHES!!

And running track.. 400 meters = 1/4 mile

Metric system baby!

The Imperial system is retarded, old and useless.

Also, this entire thread is a repost.

Based off of my everyday use, I really don't care. I'm not into science/math all that much so I'm in the very middle on that argument. Not using the metric system hasn't had a "negative impact" on my own day-to-day routine, so whatever.

the imperial system is useless for bagged milk.

I dream about the day when I can say I'm 197cm to everyone and not have to resort to that stupid 6'5" bullshit.

We all know who's responsible...

I can't understand how can one use imperial system in math and physics for the life of me...

Especially when it comes to exponents and prefixes such as deci, centi, mili, micro, nano, pico... And so on.

I was born using the Imperial system, yet I still have a hard time with it with some things. It is just too fucking convoluted. Requires too much thinking for a simple thing.

That's why you have decimals.

Celcius or Kelvin just make so much more sense.
