MODERATORS
The fact that 99.5% of the global population uses it makes it the objectively correct choice.
The remaining .5% can keep bashing their heads against a wall if they like though
Not arguing for either unit here - use what you're comfortable with and don't be smug about it - but Americans are ~4-5% of the world and even if not all Americans use Fahrenheit, people in other countries (e.g. mine) still do.
Sure, except in America agencies such as NASA and the Weather Service use metric because it's the proper measurement to use.
Most people like pop music. Does that make it the best?
Pretty sure what you did here was a logical fallacy. Idk which one bc my smol brain cant comprehend them. In music yoh dont need a best. Eith units on the other hand it makes things a lot easier if they are universal.
Should be something like False Analogy.
