Why does the US use degrees in Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

Because we are stubborn, and want to be different from the rest of the world. If we were just the same as every other Country there wouldn't be any conversions! Ignorance...

Answer 2

The Fahrenheit scale was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a German physicist, in the early 18th century. It has been historically used in the United States and a few other countries due to tradition and historic preference. However, the rest of the world generally uses the Celsius scale for temperature measurement.
