of course I was joking. Celsius makes more sense to me, as does the metric system.

Funny you should say that. We switched over so long ago that I can no longer even think of what temperatures feel like in that other funny system. Public display systems often still give temperatures in both C and F but fewer and fewer people (mainly the oldest generation who are becoming fewer and fewer) pay any attention to F readings which generally have disappeared from weather forecasts. We still have the mixed system for weights in stores -- prices quoted in both pounds and kilos though it is funny in that prices in the deli section are always in $/100 grams whereas in the meat department, its is normally $/pound. Of course all milk is sold in litre containers which is not that much of a problem because the American quart was always inferior to the imperial quart (by 20%) and is approximately the same as a litre. Still, when you buy paint it is usually in US quarts so one always feels cheated.
