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 was all for it when it was called centigrade, but lost interest when
they changed to the no longer self defined "Celsius".


The Celsius scale remains a centigrade scale in which there are 100
degrees from the freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) of
water, though the size of the degree has been more precisely defined.


You forgot to mention that the boiling point of "clean" water is (100°C) at "sea level". ヽ(ヅ)ノ
