And Celsius? And 24 hour time?
We use 24 h format here where I live but we speak in 12 h format because it's less awkward. Not all that shines is gold, I guess
Computer, wake me up at zero six hundred hours!
That's absurd, we just say "wake me up at six hours" and it understands us.
"At six" works in 24 hour time too.
What's awkward about it?
Yes please
If we are doing this, shouldn't we go straight to Kelvin? So we no longer have to deal with negative temperatures
So water freezes at 273 degrees and boils at 373? No thank you
