temperature? not really.
water freeze below 0 Celsius, so any negative number you know it is frozen.
how cold is 28F how about 10F or -10 F? how far are we below freezing?
If you ask random people in the US what temp water boils at sea level, most will not know it. In Europe, just about every person know it it is 100C.
In the medical field, it is all metric. But patients want to know their temp in Fahrenheit.
Much easier to measure things in mL.
It is easy to know when something was at 23 millimeters and now it moved to 24 mm... vs. ohsir ..your ET (endotracheal) tube was at 3/16" and now it is at 9/64", we better take a look, or should we?
