Then you must live in one of the following countries...U.S.A... Liberia...Myanmar.

If you live in the US and don't work in a technical field then you are probably just
ignorant of the real extent of metrification. The unit of temperature is just the lowest
common denominator in the sensible (metric) units vs. silly (US/Imperial) units
debate which was won a long time ago by near universal consensus. (Except for the
obstinate and stupid trio of the U.S.A., Liberia and Myanmar)

http://science.howstuffworks.com/why-us-not-on-metric-system.htm
"Many myths swirl around the metric system and U.S. involvement with it. Let's dispel a few. First, the relationship between the 
metric system and the United States dates back to the 18th century, not the 1970s. Second, all countries have either fully adopted 
or legally sanctioned the International System of Units, or SI, the modern form of the metric system. That includes the U.S., 
Liberia and Myanmar, three countries often listed as the sad-sack metric losers."
