Sigh. We really should just switch over to metric in general.
I've taken to stating measurements in metric, and then restating them in legacy units. "It's 10 degrees, or 50 degrees in legacy units". "It's about a kilometer walk from here to there, or 3/5 of a mile in legacy units".
On another subject, everyone should definitely use YYYY-MM-DD (AKA big endian) for dates. Europeans seem to use little endian, DD/MM/YYYY. The US uses middle endian, MM/DD/YYYY, which is absolutely bonkers.
Take that for what you will. I'm also the guy who set his clocks to UTC for about 6 months, as a protest against daylight saving time. I also think decimal time is a honking great idea. Get rid of leap years while we're at it.
