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!
Shouldn't it be Dimeigrade or Quarterigrade with the rising costs over the decades? HA...... I made a funny.
