I'll start. Fahrenheit is the superior temperature system for weather reporting. We should use metric for literally everything else, even Celsius for cooking, but I'll be dead in the cold ground before I abandon a system in which you actually get to experience both 0 degrees and 100 degrees. Freezing being 32 instead of 0 is literally the only downside, and it's not a hard number to remember. I'm prepared to die on this hill in the comments.

    And don't get me wrong; cheating is bad. My issue is more with people who build it up as this uniquely awful thing. It's similar to reactionaries who talk about someone wandering onto their land as if it's a capital offense -- the characterization of the wrong is usually way out of proportion to the harm done.
