If you got yourself more familiar with the C system you would know that your point is irrelivant. Celsius is a far superior system, and I'm someone who knew F from an early age. At the age of about 13 I and my schoolmates had to drop everything we knew and learn the new system because it became the standard here in Canada that year. (back in the mid 70's)
We eventually learned that it is a much easier and simpler system. 1's, 10's, 100's, and 1000's are easier to work with than 32 degrees for freezing, 12 inches, 5,682 or whatever the fuck it is ft in a mile.... as opposed to 1000 meters in a kilometer? No comparisson at all.
I doubt the US will switch anytime soon though, they're pretty stuck in the old system.
