    Do you know how Fahrenheit arrived at the two points of his scale? It was not because he conducted experiments upon his feelings.

      Interesting, in my last two comments, I have not mentioned Fahrenheit, I have simply said that Celsius did not build his scale based on feelings.

      I refrained from bringing up F because as I tried to explain in my initial comment on this post, it doesn’t matter, neither of us will ever change our minds that the temperature scale we grew up with is not the best.

      This argument about weather one temperature scale is better than the other for day to day use is stupid, I use C, you use F, lets leave it at that.
