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.
I’m reading the wiki and that sounds like hell. I prefer the 4200J/kg/K edit: wait that’s just heat capacity, maybe you were stuck in even more hell.
