    Multiple problems with you assertions.

    A) Fahrenheit has an appropriate level of granularity for humans

    You know that Celsius uses decimals for everything, so really not much difference. Furthermore the granularity of Fahrenheit doesn‘t have any advantages. You won‘t be able to feel wether its 70°F or 71°F outside, nor if you’ve got a fever of 101°F or 102°F. You need to look at a thermometer. And please don‘t reply saying that decimals are complicated. The majority of the planet, except certain Countries seem to manage just fine. Would be quite laughable if one certain country thinks it‘s too complicated.

    B) Fahrenheit has an intuitive frame of reference for humans

    Not really sure what you are referencing. I think it just stems from you growing up with Fahrenheit, so not feeling comfortable with anything else.

    But Fahrenheit is the temperature scale of the proletariat, the working man, the average Joe. And I’m here for it.

    I mean the “proletariat” of the majority of the world uses Celsius.
