It's such a big deal to convert, isn't it?

Start by subtracting 32. That's 93, which you can round off to 90. Then
take 5/9 of that -- 50, which is close enough. You can do it in your
head in a few seconds.

There's no need to memorize the formula, if you remember that 0 and 32
degrees are the same point, and 1 degree F is 9/5 degree C.

ALL scientific measurements are done within the Metric system. The
Imperial system is just idiotic. Most of us humans naturally gravitate
towards a base 10 form of measurement. The Metric system is just plain
logical and extremely easy to live with.



[ASIDE] This is an international group. Almost none of the planet's
population (less than 5%) bothers with archane measurements,
like degrees F, anymore. Please learn the Metric system.

First, it's spelled arcane (hidden, mysterious). Which isn't the word
you want -- you want archaic.

**Thanks for the spelling correction.


Metric is not capitalized.

**When I was taught the Metric system, it was capitalised. So,
capitalised it will remain (for me).
