      Sorry bro, taking 21 and multiplying by 9 then dividing by five then adding 32, or vice versa, is not going to happen everytime. I am sorry I use imperial standards, but that is where we are at, We won’t change, we (not me) think we are special. Nevertheless the metric system I only see as partially better. Stupid logic.

        There’s so much to unpack from your comment. I can’t decide my favorite: that you posted in a European community and misunderstood the temperatures you read as Fahrenheit, or that you doubled down and said America isn’t going to change their measurement system—somehow justifying misreading the temperatures in a community that is the standard.
