Metric. 10’s are easy math.

Also... Celsius. 0° = freezing water 100° = boiling water 20° = room temperature Such nice, easy numbers to remember.

I'm all for metric for everything except temperature. That 0-100 only works for water. Fahrenheit does better at expressing temperature ranges that humans live in. e.g. "50s" (sweaters), "70s" (comfortable), "90s" (too hot).

I think this is just familiarity. Everything you say here is exactly how I feel about Celsius. Also, if it’s as intuitive as you imply it should immediately catch on—I know no one who has to switch that finds it so intuitive.

Nah I didn't say intuitive, I said expressive. It'd take more than 280 characters to explain what I mean. I don't think either is ideal though.

Didn’t mean to put words in your mouth (why I said the intuitiveness was implied). We were taught both in school: C based on freezing & boiling water (everyday realities) made intuitive sense in a way F never did (mind, I grew up in tropics where daily temps weren’t daily convo).
