Imperial units are superior.
"It's zero degrees out." 0 F is actually pretty cold.
0 C is slightly chilly, but nothing to get worked up about.
Real men use Kelvin.
0 K is cold.
Inches beat centimeters any day of the week. Just like with
kilometers, centimeters are useless. (ever gone on a kilometer
run? Weak. Mile runs are where it's at.)
I always use furlongs/fortnight when quoting speeds to Americans, to
make them feel comfortable.
There's a wonderful conversion factor:
1 furlong per fortnight = 1 cm per minute.
