| Medisti said: Celsius is better for science, where large values are more common. Fahrenheit is better for daily use for the weather, because the scale from freezing to boiling is 180 units, as opposed to Celsius' 100 units. Fahrenheit allows for more accurate weather readings with only integers. |
Scientists use powers of ten and corresponding SI prefixes anyway, so the ranges don't really matter. Besides, the Kelvin scale is even better for science. It just happens (well, probably by design really) that for temperature differences, it doesn't better whether you use Kelvin or Celcius because the difference is always the same.
Also, the only occasion where I've ever needed decimals for Celsius in everyday life are body temperatures, for which you would probably need decimals even with Fahrenheit. Literally everything else works just fine with integers.

The most logical way to write a date is definitely year-month-day. Does any sane person doubt this?
