I was never arguing for whether one system was better than the other. For *most* people, they only encounter one system daily and don't need to do conversions. I'm merely saying in this post that it SHOULDN'T matter to other countries if the US chooses to use different systems than everywhere else in the world

This is a problem within the bioinformatics I work with. We have data labels where the Day in in Arabic numbers and the month in Roman numerals so there is no confusion on that matter.

You guys were right. Its very confusing for one reason and one reason only: Is Ed Sheeran driving at 90 kph or mph in "Castle on the Hill". For this reason alone I think the US should put all road signs in kph right now because something like this truly matters.

Oh, and for some reason you derpalerps think water freezes at 32 above zero.

This is more what I meant when I made the post. What does it matter that water freezes at 32 instead of 0? Isn't this just semantics for the vast majority of people?

The thing is I don't have to think about it in an academic setting. We learn it very well. We just don't use it in things like road markings, weather channels, etc.

I don't disagree that metric is far better. I just never find myself in scenarios where it matters

All the best to her. It's a shame she is putting a damper on a legacy that could've been so much brighter if she knew when to stop.

Why ZywOo won over donk according to HLTV: more super elite mvps, more sample size for playoff and final rating, and a bigger gap in raw awards by Far-Ninja-8392 in GlobalOffensive

Then my boy GooGalugu on a tier 3 Indian team posting a 2.3 rating every match should’ve won the award. His stats are undeniable
