Time is now to read about the development of the Fahrenheit Scale. Decide on each's own how much sense that makes. Celsius scale is based on water's freeze-melt point and boil point.hutchphd said:I will add my usual plea for the preservation of the Fahrenheit scale . It is actually defined on humanist values. We are creatures made of saline solution. We will freeze solid at 0F We will be unpleasantly hot at 100F because we optimize at 98.6F. A good temperature is 70F...it is a passing score...
There is nothing to recommend the Celcius scale except ubiquity.
We represent a last bastion of Temperature Sanity on the planet.
Fahrenheit Forever.
