re: #408 ThomasLite

Yeah I suspect temperature is going to be the one sticking point for most of us. The offset zero makes it almost impossible to get an intuitive feeling for whichever of the two systems you didn’t grow up with. I’m okay with most imperial/American/whatever measures (bunch of tabletop gaming will do that to you if nothing else) but F? That’s never ever going to work for me, intuitively.

I’ve lived in China for 10 years, and I still have only a vague grasp of Celsius temps. I know 20°C = 68°F from science, and C degrees are 1.8 x F degrees, so 30°C is 68+18 (86°F) and 40°C is too hot don’t go outside if you can help it. (68+36=104°F). So I work from those benchmarks.
