alt textComic strip of a ghost and a person with the American flag pasted on the head. The ghost repeats "Boo!" in the first three panels without getting any reaction, but when it in the fourth panel says "kg, cm, km, °C" the American gets scared and screams "AHHHH!!!".

As a celsius user I have absolutely no need for fahrenheit. It needs more numbers when there is no need for more precision. Half a degree C is barely even noticable.

It's one of those things that truly and honestly just doesn't matter. Celsius makes more sense if you think about water freezing at 0 and boiling at 100, but beyond that it really doesn't make a big difference.

We live in a world rich in water. When the overnight temperature is below zero, we have frost, for example

Yeah, same here. When the temperature dips below 32 we get frost
