Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

Itโ€™s only true if you are over 55-60.

Iโ€™m 50, and almost never use Imperial. Especially temperature - like, who TF uses Fahrenheit? It makes absolutely no sense in almost every context.

The only time it comes up is when I follow a recipe. That and my stove is only in F.

Even back in the 80s, the first electronic stoves could be switched from Fahrenheit to Celsius. My mom had one, because all her recipes that she brought over from the old country were in Celsius.

Any modern oven can have its display switched to Celsius.
