Celcius is the logical choice. The others are just crazy.
Because aligning to the temperature at which water boils is the objectively correct choice?
"Hey, how hot is it going to be today?"
"Well water is about 1/3rd the way to boiling, so about 30 degrees"
We used water to decide a lot of measurements. 1ml of water is = 1 gram. A gram of water is also equal to 1 cm^3. It's a beautiful system in that way. Water surrounds us and gives us life, it has chemically interesting properties that make this planet function. Why shouldn't we just base everything off of this one substance?
Not using metric is so much more fun:
Makes your maths so much more exciting!!
