why do US use fahrenheit?

 

I have no idea. I think it is just to show we are different, and therefore better. :)/s

Mostly because we are stubborn.

Yeah... The rest of the world uses the metric system, we use the imperial system. Maybe it's to try and make us sound elitist...

I know the answer to this. In fact the US has tried to switch to metric, however think about it. How many signs and labels on the roads and menus and everything has to be changed? The costs are enormous to everyone, government especially.
