From what I have seen in the one section you have given my entire country, there is little there to offer.
This is the USA, we don't use Celsius we use Fahrenheit. Unless that's another thing Texans do differently.

Really? Wow you must be kidding me. I have lived above you for so long and now you are saying you are one of only only a few countries in the world that uses fahrenheit.... you gotta be pulling my leg. Next you are going to tell me you guys don't use the metric system. I mean really who would believe that.

I would rather use the metric system, 10s are much easier to use than 12's any day.

Yeah buddy, Fahrenheit. I have no idea how to convert into Celsius and when Celsius is used I have no idea how cold or hot it is. My '87 F150 is a mix of metric and SAE fasteners (mostly SAE), I'm not sure about the newer ones but I think they finally switched to metric on them in '97.

Amen.... if you can move a decimal then you can use the metric system. To any of you doubters I want you to tell me how many times an 1/8" goes into a mile.... without a calculator or a piece of paper....

So explain to me if 32 is the freezing point in fahrenheit then what does it mean to go below zero? and why isn't -40 fahrenheit relative to +40 fahrenheit? I can not convert one to the other either but that is because fahrenheit makes no sense. No offence to my southern neighbours of course.

No offense taken. I know metric is easier but when you grow up with Fahrenheit that's what you know. I can do metric just fine but I still have no clue as to Celsius. Looking from my point of view Celsius makes no sense because I don't know it.
