How the hell are people supposed to know if you are using celsius or fahrenheit

    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.
