BrikoXHow to measure things like a Canadian?
BrayslOntario checking in, 100% accurate. Actually I would add home temperature (like the thermostat) under F, but body temperature (like checking if you have a fever) under C. Also we’re so used Americans using miles for distance/speed we’ll sometimes use it in idioms ("They ran out of here at 100 miles per hour!”). I never realized this change between measuring systems wasn’t the norm until I started chatting with Europeans.
I am in Ontario and all me thermostats have been metric. Thankfully too as it’s always confusing when it’s in imperial.
That’s interesting, I know the one I have now can go between the two and is just defaulted to F, but growing up the one in my childhood home only showed F. I never really understood the numbers in relation to the temp either, I just would notch it up or down a few degrees depending on how cold I was 😂
