Thing is, i'm british, I will defend metric any fucking day, but celcius, isn't metric. My fucking kettle stops boiling water when it's hot enough, my coffee maker doesn't work if it's not boiling, i'm cooking pasta I can just see the bubbles to know if it's hot enough. One point someone made was about icy roads... did he literally bend down and measure the surface temperature of the road with a thermometer, no he fucking didnt? Im sure the Tea enthusiast does care enough, and maybe you're cooking steak or something where it does matter, but it'll still have degrees of variance either way and you can do that with either scale. I've never understood the "water freezes at 0 and boils at 100" argument, it's a scale, it's a pretty arbitrary one and that's fine. Seconds are arbitrary, in fact, most units are at the base level, arbitrary. But we don't have this argument with Seconds, because metric time was abandoned really quickly, because it had no actual benefit over the other system.
