    With Fahrenheit, there are 180 units of degree measurement between the freezing and boiling point of water. With Celsius, there are only 100. For me this makes Fahrenheit preferable, as its units are smaller and allow for finer temperature measurement and adjustment.

      You know you can break those units into smaller units right?

      Also most thermometers are only accurate to about +/- 2 degrees F anyway.

      I know Americans are born with a fear of decimals. But that is not a phobia the rest of the world partakes in. With decimals there is an infinite amount of unit of measurement between freezing and boiling point of water, which according to your system makes celsius infinitely better than fahrenheit.

      Sure.  Next time my wife asks me how hot it is outside I’m going to tell her 25.3 degrees and she will be amazed and forever impressed. For sure…
