Thanks Stan for responding. I urge everyone who sees this to reply and support a more-logical Celsius scale. This is one of those things USMA members and USMA listserver subscribers can do to support the metric cause. They need to hear from metric supporters to let them know that not everyone is ok with Fahrenheit.
Don Hillger USMA President From: USMA <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Stanislav Jakuba Sent: Sunday, 7 November, 2021 09:11 To: Sushil Kanwar <[email protected]>; Lazar Pevac <[email protected]>; Eric Guyer <[email protected]>; U.S. Metric Association <[email protected]> Subject: [USMA 1823] Fahrenheit This Sunday paper again promotes Fahrenheit. I wrote the following in response: I enjoy reading your columns (Sunday HC). Except this Sunday when you state: ".... Celsius to stay in the science". I wonder what it is that "... makes it more sensible in the science?" Perhaps you mean the Kelvin scale, because the Celsius scale is certainly "sensible" to just about everybody in the world outside the US. And you know that, of course. Everybody is familiar with water. Setting on the approximation of 0 and 100 scale is apparently more convenient than alternatives, Fahrenheit included. With the best wishes,
