Who doesn't?  You may not, but lots of other people do.  What am I missing,
here?

My high school physics teacher would be rolling in his grave about now.  You
don't weigh anything in kilograms.  :)

Interesting; centigrade is the one system I use nowadays without having to
think much about it.  It's so easy:  0s are cold, 10s are cool, 20s are
warm, 30s are hot.

I get kilometers but I think in miles.  For short measurements I like
centimeters and millimeters, but I couldn't tell you how tall I am in cm.
I'm happy in either pounds or kilos, but I'd have to calculate to tell you
how many kg I weigh.  But centigrade makes complete sense to me.
