America moving zero to Celcius' zero would be better, it would remove one whole step from the calculation

Then if they made their degrees about 9 fifths the size (they could get higher resolution than they'd lose by doing what we do and quoting temperature to one decimal place where needed) it would be dead simple to convert (just change the symbol from °F to °C!)
