I think the worst thing about the metric system is that there are too many syllables in commonly used units. Example: centimetre vs. inch.

Still, for all practical uses, it's a better system.

And the F to C conversion is to subtract 32 and multiply by 4/9. Luckily enough, they're both linear scales.
