As Stephan Molyneux would say "Not an argument".

A phenomenon I know all too well.  A good rule of thumb is if it is 0-10 it is cold, if it is 10-20 it is sweater time, if it is 20-30 its starting to get warm and over 40 is fucking hot.  Obviously negative temperatures are cold.

As for the debate over imperial and metric I drive both my mother and boyfriend to detraction by my seeming inability to use the imperial system.  We finally agreed that a pound is about 500g since when I portion bulk goods I exclusively use metric.  Thus when I package up ground meat for freezing the package is 500g and not strictly speaking a pound--a pound being 453 and change grams.  Of course I also annoy them with my use of the 24 hour clock and my insistence of using the Year Month Day dating system.

I blame the navy for all of that since the military exclusively uses the metric system, the 24 hour clock and the Year Month Day dating system.  Were I dictator I would impose it on all of America so we could potentially join the rest of the world in the 21st century.
