FF recorded temp question

This is my first month charting my temp, and I started lurking here more in the last couple of days.

In stalking your charts, I've noticed that many if not most of you record your exact temperature. (i.e. 97.28) instead of rounding to the tenth (i.e. 97.3).  TCOYF recommended rounding, so that's what I did this month.  

Is it best to record exact temps in FF because it's computerized, as opposed to a manual written chart (which I think is why TCOYF recommended rounding-to prevent confusion)?  Or have any of you noticed a difference?

Thanks

    I enter mine exactly as my thermometer reads. From some things I've read, some women have very small shifts in temperature, & I'd rather they be caught by FF than me missing any chances. Good luck!

    I have used both and have always had a clear O. Like the PP said, some women have slight shifts though so I would think getting a more exact reading would be better. Right now I am using my back up thermometer which rounds off. I prefer the exact temp though.

    Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate it.  I will continue rounding for this cycle then, if need be (and hopefully not), I will use exact temps for next cycle.

    GL to you all!
