Fahrenheit units are great for most temperature ranges, 0 you are very cold and 100 you are very hot. With celsius 0 you are kinda cold, 100 you never see it.

Fahrenheit is pointless?

0 degC is ice, so don't brake hard 100 degC is boiling water at sea level

these have the same real world relevancy as feet and inches, feeling hot or cold is relative, if we had 0 or 100 degF in the UK, everyone would take a day off work, we'd invent a "UK Fahrenheit" range of 50 to 77, so 22 degrees of precision

I was referring to the US.

I didn't say it was pointless, but how many times has the weather given us 100C?

You aren't always relating temperature to the weather, I already know when I'm likely to be hot or cold, but 0degC is an important enough figure to warrant a warning light on the dashboard
