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
Context clues
Its a balmy 273° today
Or K. Everybody always forgets K.
No. You put “k” for Kelvin. Everything else is assumed to be Celsius and Fahrenheit should be abandoned.
The experiment occurred at a cool -40 degrees.
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
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.
