But that's literally the argument given for Fahrenheit.
- bmitc 4y agoNo really. The "comfortability" points are basically separated by 10 degrees F, with only 32 degrees F being the special one.
- tsm 4y agoMy point is that everyone saying "Celsius is so easy, look at how logical it is!" are missing the point that you still have to memorize a bunch of temperatures. Nobody in their right mind is going to say "Well, it's 20% of the way between water freezing and boiling, so I'll wear long sleeves but no jacket today".
- happymellon 4y agoSo you agree that the argument for it "feeling more natural" is actually, "I've already memorised a number"?
