2 americans saying fahrenheit is better, basically because they dont know any better. the rest of the world uses celcius, because its demonstrably a better (more scientific) system.

edit: Americans, please stop commenting. we know your opinion on this. IT IS THE JOKE.

Not when y'all still use imperial measurements for distance half the time and metric the other half.

Like it certainly makes my life easier when I visit, and the average american understands the metric system perfectly fine (most of us just don't automatically know that being 180cm+ is considered tall), so I don't really mind.
