I've started using Celsius in my everyday life. As an American, it's not the easiest thing to do, but I'm used to that from my use of the 24-hour clock and the metric system (even my car is in km/h). I prefer Celsius because it seems much less arbitrary. (A physicist-friend is trying to get me to switch to Kelvin, but absolute-zero has no implication on whether or not I should wear a coat when I leave my house.) Fellow developers: please allow me to use the measurement system I choose to use. In my transition, I realized how much we take this stuff for granted and assume everyone does things the way we do it ourselves. It doesn't take much work to give people a toggle b/t Fahrenheit and Celsius, 12/24-hour clock, or English/Metric. |
