Temperature
In marquette Fahrenheit is the most common temperature scale in use, however there has been discussion to switch to celsius as well as other more obscure measures including Newton and Réaumur, in addition to such scales there have been proposals for a new scale with freezing set to 0° and boiling at 120° the reasoning behind this being 120 is a Highly composite number and thus is very divisible.
Alcohol proof
Alcohol proof (usually termed simply "proof" or "prf") is a measure of the content of ethanol (alcohol) in an alcoholic beverage. In Marquette proof is defined as 1.8x the ABV as it was in England until 1980.
