Understood, but C has become the universal standard.

Where you live anyway. I speak fluent celsius but people just cock
their head here when I say the water was 22.8 this morning.

Let's see.Â* Round 22.8 up to 23; take 23, double it and add 30:Â* 76.
Close enough for jazz.

Yup, that's what I do.
Thass the point; if have to do that, it's not inate...one has to

I suspect that if we converted to Celsius, I soon would
be comfortable with the notion that
15 C is pleasantly cool
20 C is pleasant
25 C is hot
30 C is damned hot
35 C is hot as Satan's jockstrap

These ranges correspond roughly to my current feelings
about 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 F.

Yup, straightforward isn't it!
