Imperial for temperatures, metric for everything else!

Caleb, usually I agree with you. But this time I have to say “everyone is entitled to their own opinion… unless they’re wrong” 😂 Celsius is logical. 0°C=freezing H2O and 100°C=boiling, vs 32°F/212°F. 0F and 100F mean nothing.

oh no. Celsius is only logical for water and science. For communicating with people about livable temperature ranges Fahrenheit is much more expressive!

Also… water is everything. When does rain become sleet and snow? Near zero. When do puddles freeze? Near zero. When do roads become icy? Near zero. C. Always C. What’s “hot” out? To some, 70F is hot. Others, 80. Or 90. Or 100. Subjective.

okay new scale: 0° = freezing point of water 100° = 130°F (approx highest recorded temperature) Best of both C and F.

That’s only because you’re used to it. Familiarity and logic are different things. Fahrenheit makes absolute zero sense (see what I did there) to someone accustomed to living in a Centigrade climate.
