  With Fahrenheit, there are 180 units of degree measurement between the freezing and boiling point of water. With Celsius, there are only 100. For me this makes Fahrenheit preferable, as its units are smaller and allow for finer temperature measurement and adjustment.

    I know Americans are born with a fear of decimals. But that is not a phobia the rest of the world partakes in. With decimals there is an infinite amount of unit of measurement between freezing and boiling point of water, which according to your system makes celsius infinitely better than fahrenheit.

    You know you can break those units into smaller units right?

    Also most thermometers are only accurate to about +/- 2 degrees F anyway.

      Or essentially 1°C.

    Sure.  Next time my wife asks me how how it is outside I’m going to tell her 25.3 degrees and she will be amazed and forever impressed. For sure…

  Except 100F is the temperature of a horse, so does that mean you find horses to move maximally hot?

  These threads always make me laugh. Maybe because of the way/where I was raised I really don’t care at all what anyone uses.

    Posting your message wouldn’t be able without standardization, even the language you are typing is a standardization. Anyway i envy your simple world

  This scale presumes the non-existence of the state of “supa hot”.

  I read somewhere that 0F is roughly the freezing temperature of sea water where 0C is the freezing temperature of fresh water. As England is an island I see the value in the freezing temperature of sea water at the time.

    Sea water varies in its salt concentration a lot. And no seawater has ever been recorded below a temperature of 27.3°F (-2.6°C). Fahrenhreit used his own concontion of high concentration brine.

      Interesting! Thank you!
