The rhyme I learned for centigrade is:
"Thirty is hot
Twenty is pleasing
Ten is not
And zero is freezing"
So rounding down to "twenty is pleasing", I'm assuming this means the dumb lovable kind of idiot who knows they're not the sharpest creation in the shed and is A-OK with it
The ONLY legit use for Fahrenheit is when referencing temperature as it applies to human comfort. Outside of that, Celsius is better.
Even then, once you know Celsius it's perfectly effective for that as well.
Source: Grew up on Fahrenheit, learned Celsius for weather five years ago to see how it compares, and still have all my devices on Celsius now. I like it more.
Agree. Grew up and live in the states but read international news, tech stories, science news, etc.
It is just easier for me to remember a little of the metric than stopping to do a conversion each time.
