I like in a Celsius country but have switched all my digital thermometers to F for exactly this reason. It's just more intuitive, and I happen to like it at 70F, so below that convenient number is cool, and above it is warm.

Ah yes, 32 degrees Fahrenheit intuitively tells me I need to watch out for ice. Very nice, makes a ton of sense.

I am from a F-based country originally and exist purely in C because it's more intuitive and I happen to like it at 21c so below that convenient number is cool, and above it is warm.
