Hi, I think in metric units, so almost everything is some form of a power of 10, like a kilogram is a 1000 grams, etc.

Sometimes I will think of an hour and half as 150 minutes before remembering that it is 90 minutes.

Does something similar happen to imperial units users? Because as far as I understand you don’t have obvious patterns that would cause you to make these mistakes, right?

    I’d argue that’s just because you’re more familiar with Fahrenheit (making the assumption you grew up with it).

    Celsius is just as ‘good’ as anything, better if you consider that measuring temperature extends beyond human comfort ranges.
