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.

    It depends how you mean it. I prefer Imperial measurements because they’re what I’m used to but I honestly think the U.S. should join the rest of the world and use the Metric system.
