What has always amazed me is that the use of Celsius is so widespread, despite the fact that in general usage it seems to me not as accurate as Fahrenheit. Celsius is generally not decimalized, and rounded up or down to the closest number. The exception, of course, being in the sciences and some specialized fields.
