Anu ideas why the USA hasn't changed to the Centigrade system?
Only a handful of countries use fahrenheit today.

Centigrade makes a much more logical system.
Centigrade: 0C is freezing and 100C is boiling.


I think 100F was supposed to be human body temperature. I'm not sure
about 0F.


I think zero f was when a saturated brine solution freezes.
