I like to call them “freedom units”, because they remind me that I’m free to continue to make an objectively poor choice, each time I measure something.
I mean, the government not using a heavy hand in switching us to metric (not that it doesn’t use a heavy hand in other things) is the reason we never did. The law was passed, but nobody cared, so we never switched.
Eh, I think there’s an argument that Farenheit is more relatable to daily human life than Celsius. Not so much pretty much any of the other units. For the rest it’s just familiarity+experience.
And for the most part, Imperial units are duuuuuuuumb.
I too feel this way about imperial units.
