Exactly. Very few people get this. Fahrenheit is better for communicating temperatures in daily life.
Plus we can be more precise in our language due to the expanded scale. e.g. We can say 62 degrees F, rather than 16.6667 degrees C.

Literally the entire rest of the world disagrees with you
I've never needed a less than 1 degree unit for describing temperature, except in scientific contexts, where using 2 decimal places is fine
I don't see why "100 ~= body temperature (with fever)" is a useful scale point. Or why 32F = freezing is useful in daily life
† Yes everyone's baseline temperature is slightly different, but that just makes the decimal on the Fahrenheit scale look even sillier. And fever definitions are also keyed off of Celsius: 37º to 38º is "low grade". Sure, it's an arbitrary convention but it's the one adopted around the world, including in the US (98.6 to 100.4).
But why is 100 ~= body temperature more useful than 100 = boiling water?
Why is 50 being kind of cold more useful than 10?
I don't get this "Fahrenheit numbers are more useful/convenient/understandable" argument
Anyways, in Titan's atmosphere water boils at ~110 C, so much for "100 = boiling water".
