This is why I'm Fahrenheit gang all the way. I'm not running lab experiments daily, but I am going outside all the time. If you have to express the temperature with decimal precision for everyday use, you've lost.

... You don't. But I find it funny when failheit rounds to the nearest 10s in conversation.

And believe it or not Celsius is much better for outside because it's actually zeroed to the actual fucking weather.

I never round 10 degrees, that's crazy. Definitely to a nearby while number though.

"What's the temperature going to be today?"

"I think low 60s in the morning and 75 or 78 for the high."

So, maybe a 5 degree range max.

Dude you just did it, "low 60s".

I see it even on weather forecasts "We're going to get into the high 70s" which I think is what you didn't want to say, so you now specified 78.

And it's still a completely floating, arbitrary scale.

???

You do know that low 60s is not a 10 degree span, right? Right??

I'm beginning to see why some of you can't handle Fahrenheit units of measure...

That's what I call round to the nearest 10 degrees. High/low of tens unit if you realllllly want to be pedantic. But at this point I think you're trying to be really pedantic to win fahrenheit.

Because the point is: I find it funny when people say Fahrenheit is so much more accurate when they round to the nearest high/low of the tens unit, but then think Celsius has to be given in decimal lol.
