BrikoXHow to measure things like a Canadian?
rekabisIt’s only true if you are over 55-60.
I’m 50, and almost never use Imperial. Especially temperature - like, who TF uses Fahrenheit? It makes absolutely no sense in almost every context.
Because of its scale, Fahrenheit works better for describing the temperature as it relates to people and how comfortable or dangerous it is. Celsius obviously works better for science and engineering. But with Fahrenheit, you can describe almost the entire range of normal human survivability from freezing to death to burning to death with (almost always) only two digits and no sign change. If you see an extra digit or a negative sign on the Fahrenheit scale you know shit just got real. And as for the numbers in between 0-100, you can conceptualize them as a simple decimal range like we do for lots of other statistical things like movie ratings, school/exam grading brackets, political polls on TV, percentages, etc.
…Are you saying that the rest of the world have not a single idea, which temperature is burning hot and which temperature is freezing cold?
All of that is just a matter of habits/familiarity. If you are used to Celcius, you know 0℃ is freezing cold, like literally. Anything beyond 40℃ is “shit just got real” territory.
If you want to ask “but 40 is not an intuitive number!!” then I would briefly mention that 212℉ is not an intuitive number for the boiling point of water either.
