Anu ideas why the USA hasn't changed to the Centigrade system?
Only a handful of countries use fahrenheit today.

Centigrade makes a much more logical system.
Centigrade: 0C is freezing and 100C is boiling.


Probably the same reason Brits use pounds instead of 10 bases dollars.
12 pence to a shilling, 20 shillings to a pound. Worse than our
temperature system.

Only reason not to change is it is not easy to change old habits. I can
work with either so not a big deal.

We quit with shillings decades ago.
