I never had a feel for Fahrenheit. It didn't really matter to me as a

warm or not. It was only when I started science at school that exact

It depends where you are. When I moved to Geneva I got a feel for temps
in C. Then I moved to the US and (re)gained a feel for temps in F. Now
I'm back here and it's a feel in C again.

Someone says a number, for a temp, using the units you're used to, and
you know how warm/cold that is, without having to think about it.

Degrees K are the most sensible, keeps people alert.

If you want to keep people alert, what about degrees Rankine?

and what about Reaumur?
