Being raised in the environment of metric measurement units, I vigorously argued for many years against all other units, imperial units in particular. Nowadays, while still using metric (SI) units in my research, outside the lab I find that many non-metric units are more ‘human’. I have better sense of a foot than a meter, I perceive the relationship inch-half inch-quarter inch better than centimeter-millimeter, I intuit the relationship gallon-quarter-pint better than liter-deciliter.

People are always exaggerating temperatures. If the day is hot they add on a few degrees; if it is cold they deduct a few. No one ever gives the air temperature to a fraction of a degree, but only to a whole degree. Now on the Fahrenheit scale, on account of the small size of its degree, these whoppers are only about half as big as they are on the other scales.

To the above advocacy of the Fahrenheit temperature scale, I would like to add that talking about low winter temperatures in 'teens’ and ‘single digits’ somehow sounds more human than ‘minus ten’ or ‘minus fifteen’.
