Nah, I spent some of my formative years overseas. To this day, I can think in clicks.
I think that the F scale accidentally works on the basis of 0 to 100, and I'll bet that if you think about it, you'll find that you are comfortable in any system that is so based.
You only think that C is easy "because you grew up with centigrade and you are used to it." But I'll bet you can think in F faster than those who grew up in F can think in C.
