Celsius is no more intuitive for everyday usage. Of all the scientific unit debates, the temperature one is by far the silliest. There are very few temperatures that people need to memorize, and they're trivial to memorize in either temperature scale.



This I disagree with. Born and raised in America, I still cannot remember what temperature water boils at in Fahrenheit, I just remember it is something over 200 degrees.

Celsius is easy, 100. :)
