I'm American and I often think we do things wrong...

but not this. First floor on the SECOND floor. It's just wrong.

This makes as much sense as those people that defend Fahrenheit by saying "30 degrees can't be warm, its cold!" - your own reference is to what you're used to calling it.

Celsius is no more scientific than Fahrenheit, as it's also based on water at sea level, not some universal measurement.

So it's no more valid than F.

Kelvin is based on absolute zero, at least.
