I can't get used to Fahrenheit. I can't figure out the basis! Water freezes at 32F, and boils at 212. Why? What does 0F represent? Is one degree fahrenheit just arbitrary. Celcius just makes sense. Water freezes at 0C, and boils at 100C. There's a real-world basis for the system.

Admittedly, when I'm cooking, I still set my oven to 350F, rather than 175C
