That was me. I agree that the Celsius and Farenheit temperature
Did someone say:
"Since the number 0 doesn't need units for anything, why try to use them?"
I think that it is pretty important to include the units in stating
the value of
a temperature, even if the value is zero (e.g. 0 degrees Celsius) I don't
think any of us would have it any other way.
Obviously this is a problem with temperature (and any other quantities?) since
the value of zero on the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are based on an
arbitrary temperature. Those zero values of temperature do not
coincide and do
not represent an "absolute" temperature value.
