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.

    Metric. I’ve had my phone set up to display the temperature in Celsius for the last ~8 years so that I can get a sense of it without doing math all the time.
