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 prefer metric for stuff I can use it for but in my industry everything small is measured in thousandths of an inch and everything big is measured in inches + fractions of inches so I usually use that in my day to day.
