I prefer Fahrenheit. During a typical day, it provides all anyone should need. You just need to remember two things:

0 = Really Cold.
100 = Really Hot.

The temperature at which water freezes and boils isn't a major part of everyday life, so why should those be the reference points for an everyday temperature scale?

The only useful example I can think of is rain might turn to sleet around the freezing point, but that usually occurs anywhere from 30-40 degrees Fahrenheit thanks to various atmospheric conditions.

Granted, Fahrenheit is very... sketchy, in that 'really cold' and 'really hot' are not well defined terms. But that's life; right now, as I look outside my window, I think the color of the sky is blue, not #6FCDE8.
