We're all mad here.
So, do you still get Coke cans in the USA then?


I'm pretty sure members of whatever organization is relevant didn't sit down and decide one day to use F over C, or Metric versus Imperial. It probably has to do with common use. My mom still thinks in miles because when she was growing up, that's what they used. Cars didn't have kilometers on them. I like to use feet because I find it a convenient unit of measurement. Seriously, how many people do you know that regularly use decameters?

I'm used to Fahrenheit as far as body temperature and pool temperatures go, so I can sorta translate between F and C but not that well.

Haven't we had this conversation before?
