I personally use Celcius over Fahrenheit anyway.... When I was in Asia for a year, I switched to Celcius and it's really, really hard to switch back.
Dunno man. I think it's easier to eyeball distances. Okay so I know about how big an inch is. Now I have to imagine 12 of them. Now three of those things. Now 1760 of THOSE things.
In writing this, I had to look up how many yards in a mile. I didn't even grow up outside the US, but I can sure as hell tell you how many um in a mm, mm in a m, m in a km..... #engineering
