>And I've found no benefit to Celsius's 0 and 100 coinciding with water's state changing.
I agree, I like how Fahrenheit degrees are smaller and therefore degrees in Fahrenheit are more exact.

In general, if I ask someone what the temperature is, it will be estimated as "low 70s" or "high 50s". Never have I met anyone who would feel the temperature and then declare that it is 72 degrees, as opposed to 71 or 73. This suggests that the granularity is greater than what people feel, and is unnecessary for day-to-day use.
> Nobody lives their life around freezing and boiling temperatures. I live my life around 50 to 90 degrees and if you live yours around 10 to 40, I don’t see the advantage.
The natural response is of course we live close to freezing! 0 °C is the temperature that differentiates frozen lakes from open lakes, snow from rain, slippery dangerous roads from regular.
That said, and as an European, if had to stop using one unit of measure it would certain be the Celsius scale.
