Celsius is already screwed up because it's not zero-based.

Celcius is eminently practical (similar to power of two prefixes). Absolute zero is completely irrelevant for day to day human life.

  • Fahrenheit is even more practical for daily life, as it was designed to be.

    • How so? 0 = freezing water, 100 = boiling water is at least more useful than more or less arbitrary points of F.
