Help me understand Celsius, I know it makes more sense than Fahrenheit......0 Celsius is 32 degree Fahrenheit? correct?.......I know more about metric than Celsius.

Yep you have that part right. This might help some. I use it to convert temps. Celsius and Fahrenheit are the same at -40.

I have seen that and then some. I think about the coldest I have been in is about -52.

It does make it a little simpler for sure. I have it saved in my bookmarks so I can refer to it when I need to.

I think most Americans slept through the attempt to brings us on line with metric and Celsius, I know I did.
I get metric.......its simple, based on 10, easy to use.
Celsius always escaped me.

I still don't have the C/F converson of it totaly down after all these years. Cold is cold and hot is hot. Miles to kilometers is pretty simple. 20mph/30kph, 30mph/50kph, 55mph/90kph. 5mph-8kph for a rough conversion. Measurement I still uses inches and feet.

FORD RANGER 12-27-2010 12:56 AM

thats all i use in measurements is inches and feet.

Old93junk 12-27-2010 12:57 AM

Firearms calibers got me real interested in metric and decimal conversions.
1 inch = 25mm
.50 cal 12.5mm
.30 cal 7.62mm
.223 cal 5.56mm
.355/.38 cal 9mm
Made it more interesting.

FORD RANGER 12-27-2010 01:01 AM

never got into that part of it tho.

Zip 12-27-2010 01:01 AM

I guess if you ask for some 7.62 rounds you might get some funny looks.
