0 is freezing point. Anything below zero is relative to anything above zero. Without getting in to a science lesson there is nothing more to it.

and I agree 75 fahrenheit is ideal it is almost 24 celcius. 20 celcius is 68 fahrenheit. It is hard when you grow up with one and are subjected to another.

We'd do it

I guess that also means the temperature on your ovens are in Celsius. Our ovens start at about 250 and end at 600. All cooking instructions on packages also say Fahrenheit. I'm sure you must get some of the same food as us and there aren't two cooking temperatures on the packages. Are your ovens listed in Celsius or Fahrenheit and do you have to convert when you cook something?
I know we have gotten far off topic but I find this discussion very interesting.

If a more experienced indivual (that means I'm old) can but in. C X 1.8 + 32 = F. 0 C X 1.8 = 0 + 32 = 32F Wow it worked. Water freezes 0 C or 32 F. Try it again. 100 C X 1.8 = 180 + 32 = 212 F. It worked again. Water boils 100 C and 212 F. Now being just math, I wouldn't try to insult anyones intelligence. Or would I. Kids, send them to school, buy them books and all they do is eat the teacher. Lucky kids.

I graduated high school in 2001 and I do remember them glancing over the metric conversions in my later science classes but not enough to get a firm understanding of it. I think, in general, the metric system is much easier to use but like Sean stated- if you aren't brought up with it, it is hard to understand.
