That’s not even an argument. Billions never experience freezing temperatures let alone 0F, and it’s ok to use negative numbers.

> At or around 0F is cold, as you move closer or beyond it, it’s cold.

The exact same statement can be made about 0C. Hell if you live in a subtropical area 10C is cold.

> Most people would likely prefer to never deal with <0F or >100F.

Most people would likely prefer to never deal with < 15C or > 30C.

Human body temp is nearly 100°F and a freezer routinely is around 0°F.

Can we stop arguing now?
