How hard is it to add c or f to the end of a tempreture
How the hell are people supposed to know if you are using celsius or fahrenheit
I assume when talking to Americans that they’re using Fahrenheit. Damn near everyone else uses Celcius.

If I said it was a comfortable 22 degrees, there’s really only one unit I could be referring to.
A chilly -40 in Siberia
Or K. Everybody always forgets K.
People who use farenheit are infuriating
I like C because it is 0 at freezing 100 at boiling but I like F because the degrees are smaller units. The only thing that bothers me is when the news says our 90F feels like 110F. The ‘heat index’ or ‘wind chill’ expression of temperature drive me crazy because 90F by definition feels how it feels outside, nobody lives in a climate controlled box.
The experiment occurred at a cool -40 degrees.
I assume people are using the superior Celsius.
I have been guilty of this but I will change!
From now on, I will be sure to specify that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees fahrenheit and of a square is 360 degrees celcius.
Its a balmy 273° today
People who are using Fahrenheit are infuriating.
I love Fahrenheit, especially for weather. It’s the only non metric unit I prefer. I just really enjoy it.
Edit: I’ll always love the scale. Forever.
Don’t tempt us.
Context clues
No. You put “k” for Kelvin. Everything else is assumed to be Celsius and Fahrenheit should be abandoned.
A lot of people type the way they speak. It would sound ridiculous to include it in a casual conversation with someone you know is using the same standard as you.
I do agree though that a unit should be included when speaking to a broad audience though and I don’t think that would be a very unpopular opinion tbh. I’m a man of science though and I’ve been trained by enough teacher saying “30 what? Bananas?!” that I pretty much always include them be default even when it’s clear.
For Celsius I’m pretty sure I hear people say “C” right after they say the temps
Being in Canada when talking with very senior Canadians (from before metric times) or just People from the US, I know they are talking in American Freedom Units when it comes to this. When they say anything high 90s I suspect we aren’t talking about almost boiling water. Pretty much any number above 50 and I’m fairly sure they are still talking in American.
I also know when it comes to 37 in Phoenix in the first weekend of April it’s time to head back north to cooler temperatures of the mid 20s. I also know an American might think I meant Alaska with those numbers for April so it can get a little tricky there but it’s only the weather and not a lab experiment.
Things become more confusing if you are in Antarctica. I wonder how people deal with units there.
