Unpopular opinion time; the US already uses metric/Celsius where it matters; in science, engineering and the military. Where it doesn't matter, we use a weird hybrid system that makes intuitive sense to us and is accordingly perfectly functional and doesn't need to be changed.

The easy but not quite right conversion from C to F is to double it, then add 30.

F to C is subtract 30 and divide by 2.

I've always learned 32, not 30
