question for my american friends....and one for non americans

I think in Fahrenheit and need conversion tables to use Celsius. I understand what it is but equate warm and cold to Fahrenheit. Its just what I was brought up with.

I'm not too bad, we work with Celsius here. Thank goodness for google on occasions especially with recipes.

I understand both. We learned both in school and we learned metric and imperial growing up

I can quickly convert Celsius to Fahrenheit and reverse in my head (within a degree or two)

I’m more comfortable using Celsius but since we know how to convert it to Fahrenheit or Kelvin then I guess it’s ok. (I still prefer C)

We teach Roman numerals in schools but don't teach Fahrenheit. That's how relevent it is here.

Not really at all. I always let Google do the conversation to fahrenheit for me.

I still have to use conversion charts to understand celcius.

I'm American. I don't understand Celsius. I have to look it up.

I know fahrenheit pretty well 😛

I took lots of science courses, so I am very comfortable with Celsius. And when I visit other countries and temperatures are reported in Celsius, after a while I stop converting to Fahrenheit and just react to the Celsius temperature.

Now, the [i]Rankine[/i] scale is another matter!

Fahrenheit was proposed in 1724 by the European physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. The standard scale used to measure temperatures in America. Celsius means 0 degrees freezes water and 100 degrees boils it. That is all I know

Not great until we get into freezing temps.

I was in grade school when Canada switched to the metric system. I just got done learning Imperial Measurement so having to learn a whole new system got my Canadian blood boiling to about 120 degrees Fahrenheit – which was only 50 degrees Celsius so it didn’t seem so hot and I went ahead and learned the metric system. Now a days I am bilingual with the 2 forms of measurement. Cheers!

As an American friend and not very well at all.

Centigrade scale seems a bit bizarre.

I tslk online with a few people in France so yeah when we talk about the weather, it is a bit funny.
They will say it is so hot, it reached 32 degrees today! That is 90 in farenheit.

The only place on the planet where 32 farenheit is "hot" is Antarctica

We Canadians are bilingual

I occasionally need to google it, but I'm well versed with Celsius, as I end up using for most of my travel.

i understand the celsius scale very little. i have to look up conversion to F every time

Im fine with either, being a neighbor of the US kinda need to know both systems

I understand it. Was taught it in like the first grade.

Very well. Celsius/fahrenheit conversion is approx +32 degrees

There require conversions

I understand Google

I tried to familiarize myself with it a few years ago, but I've since forgotten. I know that 0 is freezing but I couldn't tell you what 15 or 25 feels like off the top of my head.

engineer here. can confirm: intimately. it's a job requirement to interpret these measures

I tried to learn celcius at one time, the bank clock in my last town showed both to try and educate the local cornbillies, the branch manager was stationed in England with the Air Force during the 80's.
