@mangeurdenuage @heavensfeel I think Fahrenheit is actually better for common use. People easily understand that temperatures near 0F are cold enough to hurt or kill you if you don't take precautions, and temperatures near 100F are hot enough to hurt or kill you if you don't take precautions; they correspond to about -18C to +38C, which are awfully strange numbers to try and r…

It is 90°F inside, 98°F outside. Except for Arizonans, that is "OMG I'm melting" territory.
.
It is 107°F in the Phoenix #AZ area, so this is nothing to them.

I usually provide both temperature measurements (thanks to a conversion app on my tablet), but if I'm posting from the tablet or if I'm streaming on the tablet, that app is unavailable to me.

@lnxw48a1 Well, don't think of -18°C or +38°C as those limit temperatures then. As you said, those are approximate numbers, so it's just circular logic to say that round Fahrenheit degrees are more round than the corresponding degrees Celsius. Just round degrees Celsius then, to -20°C and +40°C. Which do have symmetry as well. But it's not like running naked in wind with -…
