So. That wasn't the point of my post. Work on that reading comprehension.
If you want to use popularity as the only metric to determine whether or not something is good or bad, then I suggest you start paying attention to Kim Kardashian, otherwise you're a hypocrite.
Now, are you done proving my point about the superiority complex people on CP have? Just can't accept something different?

YOU talk about 'superiority complex'???
(Remember UDHR Article 19)

Please do. Tell them that you will deny me my right of speech. And please include my references to UDHR Article 19.
You want to censor my voice completely, deny me my right to communicate to others my reactions to your statement. I do not think that CP will honor your censoring request.

Oh no - you are on his naughty list now. There are a number of us now, so maybe we can start a group.

Also, talking about the boiling point of water doesn't mean I said it's the only thing that changes the boiling point. The point was, it's not a holy grail metric either. In your attempt to "correct" me... you missed the point completely.

I never heard this argument about Celsius degrees being 'better' because it is based the (freezing and) boiling point of water. Every one knows it was based on that, but not that it makes it 'better'.
So you have found one person who says that it makes Celsius 'better' - and you make a big number about this, feeling so grossly insulted that you have to complain about it in social media. Oh well, that is you ....
I definitely prefer to work with Celsius, because it fits directly in with other internationally accepted standards in all sorts of science. It simply is far more practical (comparable to switching to larger or smaller units by simply moving the decimal point). If you feel that argument as another insult, feel free to.
But don't forget UDHR Article 19.

You are right, it is neither dumber nor cleverer than other scales (cf Kelvin). After all, a scale is just a set of numbers that we learn and use to make sense of the world around us. In the UK we switched from Fahrenheit to Celsius back in the 1970s or thereabouts. I can still think in terms of both scales when necessary; and that makes travel to the USA easier.

I disagree. Some units are more convenient than others.

That's the one you're more familiar with, regardless of what it is.

Yes I know that. I also know someone who prefers coding in assembly what other people would code using C or even C++. I dare say C is more convenient than assembly most of the time.

I've often found that, in the UK, when it's hot in summer it's "in the eighties" (Fahrenheit) and when cold in winter it's "below zero" (Celsius).
|

I think the Met Office has pretty much abandoned Fahrenheit now. Perhaps they still use it to help poor old sods like me understand.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, exactly. And if we ever move to a global one the entire world uses... that's not inherently a bad thing. My poke was at the peeps that need to insult anything different. It's Friday. Had to do something.

I'm going to abandon the metric system, because, you know, on the Moon a liter of water...

My point is... making one system human-based is not "dumber" than making one system water based. I never said Celius sucked. But the people that insult Fahrenheit with some superiority complex do.

There's no reason to insult Fahrenheit.

First, he died in 1736, so you would be much too late.

As matter of fact I'm still blaming Pope Paul V.

So ignore those people, and accept Celsius as the norm!
