Its not the wrong unit, we just forgot how to update it and its working well enough. Also bite me I dont want to deal with decimals to know the tempeture on a more accurate level.

Various groups in the US have tried to convert and it failed because... There's absolutely nothing wrong with the current system and very, very little to be gained by switching.

Also if the US actually switched, what would all the people who comment and complain about it on the Internet do with all of that free time? Get a hobby? Or start lobbying the whole world to switch to Kelvin?

I dont know anyone who uses decimal when they use celsius, and almost everyone I know uses celsius.

.3 degree is not going to change anything, just like you wouldn't put on your jacket just because the temperature lowers half a fahrenheit.

Well my cars Celsius setting certainly does. Fucking things weird though so IDK.

I also realized my american appliance do this same when I try to set them to celsius (nest etc). I guess that is where this unfortunate misconception comes from.
