only if you grow up with fahrenheit.

Um. No.

If I said a movie was a 7/10, you would understand what that means because it's a scale. You don't have to "grow up" using a 0-10 scale to understand it.

Like if I asked you to rate something on a scale of 4-17, you'd understand what I mean. The numbers are different but the concept of a scale remains the same.

if I knew that you are a european and you told me a movie was 5/10, i would assume it was average. if i knew you were American, i would assume it was dogshit.

Americans have a weird relationship with numbers.

also, as mentioned in another post: if 0 is too cold and 100 is too hot, surely 50 would be a pleasant temperature?

Dear god, is Fahrenheit the reason behind meaningless movie ratings? Another reason to hate it…
