Do you use metric? :)

I use Fahrenheit just because it's a pain to get everything set to Celsius and other Americans don't understand it. But I use grams, kilos, millilitres, kilometres, etc. Yes. And if someone asks me to guess the length of an object I will give centimetres, and refuse to translate to inches and their stupid fractions.

So you use Fahrenheit because Americans don't understand Celsius but you don't convert to imperial for them if they don't understand? That just seems inconsiderate as it's really no trouble at all
