Title: Switch to the Celsius scale
Post by: Huw the Poo on October 26, 2013, 04:28:07 AM
Celsius makes much more sense than Fahrenheit.  Water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.  It also directly correlates with the Kelvin scale.  Fahrenheit doesn't make any sense at all, so stop using it!

Thanks, bye.

I dunno.

It's 48 outside right now and that feels kinda chilly. I think I'll stick with it.

The pace of Americans adopting Celsius and the Metric System has been rather glacial.

I'm sure you can all measure up to the challenge.
