What about all the Whitworth and British Standard sized wrenches (spanners)

The only reason I have them is because I have a 1974 MGB roadster
I had to learn the sizes as I went along

Swede driving on a Range Rover left hand drive, don't get me started on Whitworth and British Standard sizes when it comes to car maintenance, haha.

Yes, but all that only matters if US citizens care, even the slightest, about those inconsistencies/quirks.... Which they don't (on average).
So... 
And, for the record, I argue Celsius is a bad temperature scale (with a good zero point), as for normal use the 1 unit size is too big, making you constantly have to work in tenths for no good reason.
Maybe the scale should have been 0-1000.

Metric is almost always better, and if you're a chemist, of course you'll use Celcius and Kelvins. That said, I will fight anyone who cannot recognize that Fahrenheit is the superior scale for indicating weather and human perception thereof.
I'll leave this here.

All you people have WAY too much time on our hands.

However, it might need a minor edit, something like:
100 Kelvin -- dead
0.01 Kelvin -- dead
0 Kelvin -- Fundamental uncertainty as to 'alive' or 'dead'. Hey, is that Schrodinger's cat? He's been looking for you ever since you got into that box.

I'm in the US but I have to admit that all of the engineering problems in college were WAY easier in metric. Although I am non-practicing, I would have no problem if US got on board the metric system. I had never heard of a slug (not the slimy worm-like animal) until I was in college
That's how everything's stamped on our machines, for exactly that reason - big to little, left to right.
