Americans are right about measuring temperature in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.

I don't understand why. Celsius is easier to comprehend

Hi. I'm Diñero. It's a rather curious story behind that name, feel free to tag me in a cast and I'll tell. I'm a guy that loves intelligent conversations.

0° Celsius is pretty darn easy to recollect as freezing point. It's also easier to use this as a mental bookmark to estimate how hot or cold something is. And, by the way, where have you been?

It's quite simple to pick up a range of 100°C as boiling point and 0°C as freezing point. Using these benchmarks, any temperature in between can readily be understood

It's not really. F provides higher resolution and human beings are pretty sensitive to temperature.
