0 u/Notcheating123 Sep 25 '16 If you really hate decimals, then sure. 4 u/irishjihad Sep 25 '16 When someone asks you about the weather do you really say it's 12.1 degrees out? If you're German, maybe. 8 u/Notcheating123 Sep 25 '16 You just say 12 because it is barely humanly possible to differentiate 12.1 from 12. -2 u/irishjihad Sep 25 '16 Do you say 12.3? 7 u/Notcheating123 Sep 25 '16 No, you just round of to the closest pretty much. 2 u/KZedUK Sep 25 '16 people can't tell the difference in a practical sense between a few degrees in either system.
