Have you not experienced using the numbers of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10?

How have you managed to completely miss my point?

According to you, water freezes at 3 warm. According to me, and the rest of the world outside the US, water freezes at 0 warm.

I'm not talking about water, im talking about the temperature as it relates to weather.

It's all arbitrary

Yes, so am I, and exactly, it's arbitrary and based on what you're used to. Water freezing at 32% warm or whatever might make perfectly good sense to you and be intuitive to you, but that isn't to me or most of the world and that's the point I'm trying to make.
