Celsius is used because that is what the majority of the world uses.
Besides, it is a much more meaningful scale (zero = freezing point of
water, 100 = boiling point of water). Most people can appreciate those
two values quite easily and interpolate between them.

Now, 32F and 212F for freezing/boiling points of water????? That makes
sense.... NOT.

Do you know what zero and 100 Fahrenheit equates to (without looking it
up)? According to http://www.books.md/F/dic/Fahrenheitscale.php it is
"A thermometer scale in which the freezing point of water is 32°F and
the boiling point of water 212°F; 0°F indicates the lowest temperature
Fahrenheit could obtain by a mixture of ice and salt in 1724"!!!!!
That's easy to replicate..... NOT.

It's only a few 'backward' countries that continue to use Fahrenheit
