I don't see why it's so confusing. If you know both and feel comfortable with both you are better equipped to understand the qualities being measured than anybody who is only comfortable with one.

When it's 61º F outside you can say "It's 61º of the difference between damned cold and damned hot" and simultaneously know it's 16º C, 16% of the way from freezing to boiling water.

0º C equals 32º F. 16º C equals 61º F. 28º C equals 82º F. Everything else in human environmental temperature range can be interpolated or extrapolated roughly in a 2 for 1 relationship between C and F.
