      There are more degrees of lived temperatures, and the difference between 68 and 73 is whether or not you need a jacket.

      Inches and ounces are different forms of measurement so I’m not quite sure of the comparison.

        I have been and lived in both the FREEDOM land and the rest of the world for a significant period of time 10y+, the “it has more marks on the thermometer” isn’t really a good argument, turns out there is no “71° time for a slightly warmer jacket” in reality.

          As an ohioan I strongly disagree with this statement

      Meters and grams are a decimal system which makes more sense than non decimal systems.

      The difference in temperature units is just the somewhat arbitrary starting points. And there are valid arguments for both.
