I'm not sure I agree with the take for farenheit. It's an arbitraty choice, and to me who grew up in a country that uses celsius, I find that far easier to understand and farenheit may as well be random numbers to me.

"Oh but 100 Fahrenheit means 100/100 on the hot scale, it just makes intuitive sense!"

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?? Fahrenheit lovers literally don't know how ridiculous they sound
