Well, the main argument I saw in the OP, which I've been advocating among friends for a while, is that in Fahrenheit, 0-100° is the difference between a cold day and a hot day, which makes it more ideal for "what's the weather like today?".

With Celsius, on the other hand, you're not going above 40°, and thus so much of that 0-100° space is useless for real life.

And how would you feel about the new scale I proposed? It gives you the scale you want and it's easier to convert to scientific scales like Celsius and Kelvin.
