The most hilarious thing is that the Imperial units came from the UK. They should blame the UK for the Imperial units, not us.

  The reality is that the Anglosphere as a whole uses a hybrid system to greater or lesser degrees. Heck, stones are still used at least somewhat in the UK. And I'd argue that Fahrenheit is actually a pretty decent system for day-to-day use. The degrees are smaller and it's not really that hard to remember 32 degrees is freezing. And sub-zero is fricking cold in most places. If you want to be all-on scientific, use Kelvin. But that would be silly for day-to-day use.
