Fahrenheit makes more sense? What could be more concise than a system that sets
water freezing at ZERO and Boiling at 100? Farenheit is about as obtuse and
inscrutable as it can get. More degrees between freezing and boiling? Holy CRAP,
you are an imbecile.

Sticks and stones......
You just don't have a leg to stand on here, Mr. Puff-and-Strut. Who said anything about *concise*
besides your own self? I said Fahrenheit makes more sense. And, it does. Water boils at 212 and it freezes at 32.
Subtract. You get 188 degrees. That's almost twice as many degrees as you get in Centigrade degrees.
That means it's more descriptive. Your measuring with a finer instrument. It's like having half sizes in
shoes. You get a better fit when you have half sizes. Duh!
