    But to understand “x out of a possible y” you have to understand scales, or at least percentages which is the same concept. Then, if you understand percentages, you understand fahrenheit.

    Honestly more places should do what the U.S. does and just teach both (and Kelvin). Because ultimately there isn’t one perfect system of measurement for every possible application. Celsius is of course better in lab settings, Fahrenheit is better for cooking and meteorology.

      Honestly, I thought I’d deleted that comment before you replied. I’d broken my promise to myself of never commenting in the celsius/fahrenheit threads.

        I understand. Tbh, I usually try to stay out of arguments too, but the fahrenheit debate is pretty low-stakes and kinda fun sometimes so I figured I’d jump in.
