Hi, I think in metric units, so almost everything is some form of a power of 10, like a kilogram is a 1000 grams, etc.

Sometimes I will think of an hour and half as 150 minutes before remembering that it is 90 minutes.

Does something similar happen to imperial units users? Because as far as I understand you don’t have obvious patterns that would cause you to make these mistakes, right?

    Hey, to each their own. Like I said, the best unit is the one understood.

    Personally I don’t care about 68°F vs 69°F, so °C works fine for me. And I suspect there are people similar to you who grew up with Celsius and use half degrees. But I’m not gonna tell you you’re “wrong” because you aren’t. I’m about half a degree frustrated that you got downvoted for this!

      No worries. Downvoting an unpopular opinion is one of the Internet’s greatest traditions. Don’t let google gaslight you into thinking that removing the display of downvotes on YouTube is a good thing either.
