    I’m curious, what are the areas that matter that you see metric having replaced imperial?

    I still see imperial used for building materials, tools, furniture, product dimensions, food packaging, recipes, travel distances. The doctor still tells me my weight in pounds. It’s what we use at my job when describing products to clients.

    Hey I’m American and think we should switch to metric. While Celsius has a more objective basis than Fahrenheit, doesn’t seem like the same slam dunk as the other measurements.

    Are there applications where we’re measuring in centicelsius or kilocelsius? There aren’t weird non-base ten increments of Fahrenheit. In Fahrenheit 0 is cold and 100 is hot as well…

    I’m still fine changing to it, just doesn’t seem to have the same “in your face” value for this graphic.
