Did I jab at you lot for using Celsius/centigrade? That's quite annoyed me, actually.F is much, much worse. Yeah, having water's freezing point at 32 and boiling point at 212 makes SO much more sense than 0 and 100
Fahrenheit was binned by anyone with any sense centuries ago. Mericans gonna be mericans though.
The Royal Society could have nipped us senseless Americans in the bud by recognizing Fahrenheit was off his nut, but alas. And like the metric system, at a certain point there's too much infrastructure, physical and societal, to rip out to make changing worth it.
Celsius was a weirdo, himself; the scale didn't flip to make 100 boiling and 0 freezing until after he died. Fucking temperature nerds.
Tl,dr; it's all the fault of those blasted Germans and Danes.
