And if I moved to a Fahrenheit country I wouldn't know what to wear when it's 60 degrees. That's the point, that both scales need some "getting used to". Fahrenheit is no more natural than Celsius in that regard, and also has the issue of not having reference points.

0F is the brine freezing point. The 100 is better - originally thought as human body temperature, now it's a mild fever.
