Things that make you frown :(

Grand Canyon's famous Rim-to-Rim trail likely won't reopen for years​

We attempted to change way back - about the same time as Canada.
Signs were duplicated so people would get "the feel" - weather was reported in deg C and F.
Canada said, "cut-over day has arrived" and took down all the signs in statute miles.

We chose Liberty. lol

Ounces you say? did you mean the volume ounces or the weight ounces?
While one would think that a dry ounce would weigh the same as an ounce of water at STP, it does not.

Bushel and peck are still used too. But that almost makes sense, cause it is the container size.

Can we talk about driving on the wrong side of the road?

PS
You should know where the statue mile originated?

Why is a furlong horizontal, but leagues are vertical (negative)

Wait - inHG is the wtg! or "WC

on the other stuff, you of all people appreciate precision. degC to the 1/10 is twice the precision of degF or half that of defF to the 1/10!
-40 - well at least they line up somewhere.

Should we talk about measuring time?

😀

I guess this doesn't make me frown.

Are you preparing part 3 of that SNL skit?

Fahrenheit makes way more sense for day-to-day use of measuring weather and human body temperatures.

I won't argue about the rest of it. Maybe PSI for normal daily use vs bar or whatnot.

100% with you on this, weather and human body temperature as well as air pressure make more or less sense based on what you're used to. I would never argue on one system being better than another simply because it's not what I'm used to. So being in the US Fahrenheit does make more sense and so does PSI, it would be absurd to recalibrate a whole country because somebody 'visiting' has a different opinion...

They use inches of water pressure to measure pipe organ pressure, since most pipes only need 1-2 psi at most.

The old organs are fun, cause they have a gauge on the console that has a literal water-filled tube on it, and you can watch it drop as you pull more stops.

It seems if you grow up using Celsius, then using it every day isn't a big deal. I spend enough time watching videos by non-US creators that I can start to "think" in Celsius after a while. Kilometers to miles seem to be the same way.
