  You can have the Fahrenheit temperature scale when you peel it from my cold, dead hands. Metric is great for measuring size and weight and I suppose distance (though miles sounds so much nicer than kilometers), but the Celsius scale is too short until you get into really high temperatures.

      0 as freezing isn’t bad, but boiling at 100 feels wrong. It’s not enough of a difference. Fahrenheit’s number values may be a little wonky and arbitrary seeming but it gives a better sense of scale.
