    I have removed my original comment, which was a simple statement of personal preference for one specific temperature measurement system, which was subsequently met with snarky bullshit from people who are unable to see beyond their own narrow perspectives. I would like to express my regret to them for the fact that they are so ignorant and wrong.

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

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

      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.

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