Fahrenheit is not intuitive, you just think so because you grew up with it. People who grew up with Celcius have no problem relating to how cold 30 C or 100 C or -20 C are.
- baddox 13y agoCelsius is no more intuitive for everyday usage. Of all the scientific unit debates, the temperature one is by far the silliest. There are very few temperatures that people need to memorize, and they're trivial to memorize in either temperature scale.
- com2kid 13y agoThis I disagree with. Born and raised in America, I still cannot remember what temperature water boils at in Fahrenheit, I just remember it is something over 200 degrees. Celsius is easy, 100. :)
- amalag 13y agoI never said intuitive, I said human centric. Everyone can relate to a number, but it is not as human centric as Fahrenheit which has 0 to 100 more relative to a human scale.
