I have never understood why anyone would use the Fahrenheit scale for temperature, it is so illogical, centigrade is simple - 0 is freezing, 100 is boiling, 20 is room temperature. As far as distance is concerned I find it easy to switch between miles and kilometers, I have no preference. Volume and weight is simple - a cubic meter of water weighs 1 tonne, can't get easier than that!
Centigrade is awful. Why base temperature scale off water of all things?!?
Kalviners represent!
