Yes, many of us were brought up with quaint imperial measures, but it's

we used when it was last measured (when I was a teenager), but I know my
weight in kg.

It may be easy to adapt for you, but please do not be so arrogant as to
assume it is the same for everyone. I simply cannot do it, and quite
honestly I do not see why I should. Why can't both systems be used..?

Have you seen or used a medical thermometer any time recently?

I still have an old mercury thermometer, which has both F and C marked
on it. I've been using it for 40 years and I haven't died of mercury
poisoning yet.

You can't live in the last century forever.

I can have a damned good try. I refuse to be dictated to.
