[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2887453, member: 109862"] If only it were that simple. In fact, I live in a land that uses both systems in arbitrary and inconsistent ways. For example, the country grid roads I grew up on are laid out in miles, one or two mile blocks. So when I’m driving on gravel I only think in miles, kilometres are gibberish. But the paved highways have signs all in kilometres indicating distance…when I’m driving on asphalt I think in kilometres and if someone tells me how many miles away it is I have to mentally convert that to kilometres to make sense of it. If I’m outside I think of temperature in degrees Celcius, Fahrenheit means nothing. If I’m setting the thermostat inside I think in Fahrenheit cuz that’s what the thermostat measures in. Same with cooking. 350 Fahrenheit is English. 176 celcius is stupid 🤣 What really l can’t think in is metres and centimetres. I can’t stand that my drivers licence gives my height in cm. I’m five foot eleven. And I weigh things in pounds not kilograms UNLESS it’s deli meat 🤣🤣 [/QUOTE]
