Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit proposed the Fahrenheit temperature scale in 1724, where water freezes at 32 degrees and water boils at 212 degrees.  Currently the United States, Belize, Burma, and Liberia (the 4 Global Superpowers) are the only countries that have yet to be metricated.  Nearly the entire science community in the U.S. uses Celsius now.  Great Britain made the switch to only teaching Celsius in the 1960s and ’70s.  But I say, who gives a crap what the rest of the world does?  I don’t see Burma using Celsius.  I don’t see Liberia wimpin’ out.  I don’t see children in Belize fawning over the Celsius scale.  As long as we have Burma, Belize, and Liberia on our side, I know we will be ok.
