Why Americans still use Fahrenheit long after everyone else switched to Celsius - Vox

I use the metric measurement for my job and so does my wife. It took all of a few minutes to figure out. The whole system is based on 10. how hard is it to figure out that 10mm is 1 cm, 10cm is 1 m, 10m is 1 decameter..... A temp of 0 is freezing and 100 is boiling. with speed, 1 kph is 1,000 m per hour. Anyone know how many ft per sec 60 mph is without looking it up? I'm guessing very few.

I think the biggest concern in the article is the issue with drugs. Hospitals all use the metric system when dispensing drugs. How many people have been injured or killed because of our stubbornness in not adopting the world wide standard of measurements?
