Uh.
Not to get off topic but, Fahrenheit makes no sense?
Since when?
It makes more sense to say 0 Degrees is 0 Degrees and go from there, unlike Celcius which makes 100 degrees be like 40.
Okay, this will probably be best explained in anchoring points (I just made that term up) of the two systems, i.e. the points on the scale that measure everything else:
0F, 32F, 96F
Celsius? Simply 0 and 100.
0 degrees in Fahrenheit? The temperature where, and I quote:
Wikipedia said:
The zero point is determined by placing the thermometer in a mixture of ice, water, and ammonium chloride, a salt.
32F? The temperature at which water freezes.
96F? The human body temperature.
0 degrees in Celsius? Simply the temperature at which water freezes and the same temperature where things start to get cold as hell when you walk out the door.
100 degrees in Celsius? The boiling point of water, very useful for cooking.
Now you look at that and tell me which one is easier to understand.
