I would prefer Celsius if it was smaller degrees, so 0 = freezing is great logic but boiling needs to be 1000 not 100. There just aren’t enough degrees between freezing and boiling, Celsius is too inexact.
And no way is 50 medium in F, it is cold. We might actually put the heater that low because the HVAC system we have is built more for cooling, but that is very, very cold feeling. 0 in F is beyond cold, that is 32 degrees (or 18 of your civilized degrees) below freezing. Hellish cold.

Have you heard of decimals?

I have never heard the temperature expressed with decimals - my phone says “it’s 14, today’s high will be 20 and low of 4” or whatever. Do oven settings have decimals in places that use Celsius?
Is the temperature expressed beyond whole numbers?

What a weird argument. There is no practical difference between 180°C and 180,5°C. No need for ovens to have decimal precision.
Thermostats do have increments lower than 1°C though. My car’s AC increments in 0,5°C steps.

Car heating can be adjusted to decimals usually. So can the heating in my home. The oven can’t, because the chicken doesn’t care if it’s 180 or 181 degrees.

I don’t want to mess around with punctuation. It’s the same with height. Six foot? Great! 1.91 meters? What even is that!
Let’s remember where we are here everyone.

Are you 0.00113636 miles tall though? We use centimeters for height. You are 191cm tall, not 1,91m.

I think its called a gaggle of decimals.
