Why Fahrenheit is Better than Celsius

[b] [/b] [url=http://isomorphism.es/post/3767526267/fahrenheit-versus-celsius]"In a sentence: Fahrenheit uses its digits more efficiently than Centigrade. 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.

  • Too bad farenheit using countries also use standard rather than metric. Then again I feel better when it says I drank 12 ounces of alcohol rather than 354 milliliters.
