Centigrade adopts the decimal convention but then throws away 70% of the range. Fahrenheit’s gradations are so well tuned that it only requires {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} × {low, medium, high}, for a cognitive savings of 7 unneeded numbers in each of 9 decades. Celsius may be better for chemistry. Fahrenheit is better for real life."[/url] Suck it, rest of the world.
