It would be an easy switch for me outside of speed and temperature.
I think farenheight makes the most sense when it comes to describing a comfortable temperature. Baking , computers, and what-not, celsius makes more sense.
Speed, well, that'd take me a long time to get used to.
Measuring for home projects and the like wouldn't be difficult as I had already made that switch at my last job.
Eh American temperatures just sound confusing.
I’ll see headlines like “Record breaking weather over 104 degrees “ and think holy shit people must be dying, and it’s just like only bloody 40 degrees.
I just think of it like this. 0 is fucking cold, 100 is fucking hot. It's the easiest for me to describe comfort levels according to temperature.
72 is room temperature, so anything above, it's time to start taking clothes off. Anything below it's time to start putting more on.
32 is around about where water freezes so if it gets close to that, time to make sure pipes are wrapped and plants are inside. Only really have to worry about that one time a year though.
In metric you just look at the first digit:
0x is cold
1x is light jacket
2x is shorts weather
3x is hot
