I use metric temperature when I talk to my kids. Now they give me a hard time when I give them a Fahrenheit value! Keeps me honest I guess. I've also got my oldest using a 24 hour clock.
I never understood why people get their panties in a twist when I use 24h times. I get that it's confusing if I drop the colon and just write 1854, but 18:54 isn't that hard to figure out, is it?
Edit: Corrected 25h to 24h, thanks to MindTraveller for ~~mocking~~ pointing out my error
I'm never going to get used to twenty five hour times.
Fuck, I missed that typo
Temperature was the first thing that really clicked for me, and the only one I never have to think about to translate, I just "know" what the temperature is both. I learned it by thinking of it as percentages. 0 is freezing, 0% of boiling. 100 is boiling, 100% of boiling. Lol. 30-40% of boiling is hot, and pretty good for a bath. Haha
