Didn’t mean to put words in your mouth (why I said the intuitiveness was implied). We were taught both in school: C based on freezing & boiling water (everyday realities) made intuitive sense in a way F never did (mind, I grew up in tropics where daily temps weren’t daily convo).

Nah I didn't say intuitive, I said expressive. It'd take more than 280 characters to explain what I mean. I don't think either is ideal though.

I think this is just familiarity. Everything you say here is exactly how I feel about Celsius. Also, if it’s as intuitive as you imply it should immediately catch on—I know no one who has to switch that finds it so intuitive.

Haha isn’t that funny that, even though it’s the same thing, we can prefer seeing it one way or the other. 😂

fwiw I was determined to switch to Celsius a few years ago, and actually set all my devices to it. I lasted about 8 months, in a temperature range from 10-36, and concluded that Fahrenheit is more expressive and switched back.

Maybe I'm more sensitive to smaller temperature changes, cause for me the difference between 70°F and 80°F is huge, and that's just 21°C-26°C

I dunno though. 0 = jacket 10 = sweater 20 = room temp 30 = hot day Those are pretty straight forward.
