"In the metric system, one milliliter of water fills a space of exactly one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and needs one calorie to heat it by one degree Celsius, which equals one percent of the difference between its freezing and boiling points.
A quantity of hydrogen of the same weight contains exactly one mole of atoms.
In the American system, however, one can not calculate these units directly. So, when asked, "How much energy does it take to bring a gallon of room-temperature water to a boil?" reasonable way only with "F *** you!" reply."

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
But the systems should never be mixed.
my Digital Thermostat went out on my old Central AC Unit
they replaced it with a new upgraded Digital Thermostat
that had options to use + display either Fahrenheit or Celsius or Centigrade degrees
the problem was it was controlling temperature thru about a 4 degree spread like +2 above the setting to -2 deg below the setting
the AC Guy said it looks like its controlling the temp with Centigrade degrees , even though its setup to use Fahrenheit degrees
so for about a year that upgraded Digital Thermostat was a hassle
sort of luckily , the AC Unit went out
i replaced it with new Lennox signature series 5 ton 2-stage AC Unit
with WiFi Digital Thermostat that controls temperature +- 1.0 deg Fahrenheit scale ... what a great AC Unit
super comfortable Day and Night with it constantly maintaining within +- 1.0 DegF temps
... best was it cut my Electric Bill down $$$ more than half !!!
So if i had this AC Unit setup to use Centigrade degrees ... would it control temps to + or - 1.0 degrees ??
1.0 degC = 1.8 DegF
example i set the AC at 24.0 DegC = 75.2 DegF
if the Digital Thermostat maintains 24.0 DegC to within + or - 1.0 DegC then its equal to 73.4 DegF to 77.0 DegF = 3.6 deg F range ... back to room temp hassle
Those with Digital Thermostat reading in Centigrade degrees
what do you set your Thermostat to if you wanted just a 1.0 DegF change ???
could you enter in a DegC temp like 24.44444 to get 76.0 DegF room temperature
are your Digital Thermostat's readings in 1.0 degC increments ? or can you input 1/2 degC ??
