    Celsius is better because it’s the standard used by almost the entire world. If you’re talking with anyone but Americans or you’re working in science then you’re using Celsius.

    The rest is just arbitrary - you can get used to either system.

        That’s not at all what I’m saying. I’m saying there’s little to no difference in practical use, except for the convenience of using a standard. Standards make life much easier because you’re talking the same language as everyone else. When you’re pretty much the only country still using Fahrenheit maybe it’s time to think about using the global standard?
