  • He tweeted “Her”, which explicitly tells us it’s a deliberate imitation of Scarlett’s voice in that movie. And he tried to negotiate licencing her famous voice, which she rejected.

    So it’s more than just a coincidence, it’s deliberate bad faith behaviour. Legally you can’t misrepresent a product as being from a famous person when it wasn’t, and he very much did that. I guess he was hoping she’d give in and accept the licensing agreement post-facto. But instead it looks he’s in legal deep water now.

    That’s not at all what I’m saying. I’m saying there’s little to no difference in practical use, except for the convenience of using a standard. Standards make life much easier because you’re talking the same language as everyone else. When you’re pretty much the only country still using Fahrenheit maybe it’s time to think about using the global standard?

    Celsius is better because it’s the standard used by almost the entire world. If you’re talking with anyone but Americans or you’re working in science then you’re using Celsius.

    The rest is just arbitrary - you can get used to either system.
