Admittedly I was more concerned about as-geeky/as-pedantic-as-I-am friends teasing me about it than the fact that I'd done it...
But do I get any points for describing the weather in Kelvins most of the time? (Especially useful in winter -- 261K sounds so much more comfortable than 20F or -12C, y'know? Much more pleasant to talk about. But more importantly, in case I ever have to do gas-law calculations unexpectedly, I won't have to do any conversions. (No, that hasn't happened, but it could.))
Oh, and even though I know it's formally acceptable, using pounds for mass or kilograms for force bugs me. Slugs and Newtons, thank you.
