That said, the same thing can be done with metric by using the magical decimal, though idk if I’ve ever seen a temperature in C related that way.

People using Celsius that ever cared that temperatures didn't add decimals for increased precision in weather reports, please raise your hand.

👋

Having grown up with Fahrenheit there is a difference between 78 degrees (26ish) and 80 (still 26ish)

The increased granularity for human ranges actually is noticeable.

If you think I’m advocating for Standard over Metric than you’ve wholly misunderstood me.

The metric SYSTEM is hands down the better of the two.

78 F is 25 C and 80 F is 26 C.

Just saying "ish" doesn't suddenly make them the same. In C they are different numbers.

There is a difference. Does it matter? Eeeeh...
