This cuts both ways. How is F hard to use? It's hard for YOU for the same reason you say C is hard for Americans: ". . . when you are used to one thing, it is always easy."

Yes, I'd want to move back. Why wouldn't I want to move back? When you switch to the Dvorak keyboard, let me know. Then I'll reconsider. 

In science I like kelvins. For weather, cooking, laundry and such, I like F. Anything else would involve pointless effort. If something is given in C, like wash temperatures often are now, I convert. No biggie. 20 F is 68 C. 30 F is 86. Then just add or subtract 18 per 10 for anything else. Good enough.
