In the UK we use a weird mix of both though which can get confusing, I wish we would fully switch.

It infuriates me that I have to constantly convert a measurements when reading american books or websites. It's like they think no one else outside of America will read it or perhaps they simply don't give a crap if anyone does.It's habit for me unfortunately, didn't mean to swing my star-spangled wang in anyone's face. I am not proud.I can't help but prefer fahrenheit when talking about hot temps. its' so satisfying to say 90-100 degrees when you're sweating your balls off.

If I click on a fitness article and read that someone reduced their weight by a stone I immediately stop reading. Not worth the effort.

Pear and Hite is okay.
My COT wants an explanation for every little thing that ever happens in any video I show. For example, I showed the kids a video of Mr. Bean shopping and being his weird self. My COT asked me "Why is doing [weird thing]?" Uhhhh, it's Mr. Bean he does weird things for humor, I can't explain that. Or the other day I was showing a stop-motion Lego animation to the kids, and I had to explain to him what stop-motion was for 5 minutes and then he explained it to the kids, even though I explicitly heard them say "ooh, stop motion."
