Hard agree with metric for the most part. I forever stand by Fahrenheit for temperatures you experience, and Celsius for science. I don't want to have to use decimals in my everyday life, but that's just me
And really, K is the ideal temperature unit for scientific purposes, since there's actually a hard starting point, rather than picking an arbitrary state change at an arbitrary pressure of a kind of arbitrary compound.
Don't you use decimals for prices already?
They do but they don't matter because of sales tax and tips.
Yup. Being at the store is just a guessing game until the tax gets added. And then I just swipe the card lol
