I never said Fahrenheit was better, just that it was perfectly acceptable for use as a measure of human comfort.

I'm not going to get into what I usually go into because I only commented to answer OPs question, not start a(nother) internet flame war. A lot of people who use Celsius go absolutely NUTS when someone so much as hints that Fahrenheit has some usefulness.

    It's a deprecated unit of measure. In a lot of forums like this one, there's a lot of people that work in the technology field and we're always annoyed by people that insist on sticking with something that's deprecated because people invent rationalizations for why the thing they're used to is better. I use Fahrenheit for cooking but I'm not telling people I do that because it's better in some why, I know I'm using a deprecated unit of measure solely because I'm used to it.
