Trying something new: America AMA! 

Ask me a question why something is the way it is in the US and I'll try to give you the best answer.

Qualifications: I've been an American my entire life. Other Americans should feel free to chime in.

Why don’t you give up the imperial system?

1. Distance is better in metric but temperature is better in imperial.

2. Americans don't like being told what to do more than most cultures.

How is temperature better in Fahrenheit? Beside 100 signaling human body fever, what happens at 0 F? It doesn’t even map on the Kelvin scale. 

2. It’s not a matter of being told… it’s a scientific standard. And make much more sense. Remember I’m Italian and the “imperial” word have a specific meaning to

Best explanation I’ve seen:

Fahrenheit is how humans feel temperature, Celsius is how water feels temperature, Kelvin is how atoms feel temperature.

Best explanation I’ve seen

Celsius:

0: you’re kinda cold
100: you’re dead

Fahrenheit:

0: you’re really cold
100: you’re really hot
