My condolences, Polska.

Sounds nice, if a little warm. Though that might just be because I've adapted for freezing winter weather and 50F sounds pleasant.

Ah, Fahrenheit... invented when Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit decided that 0c -- zero -- was no longer representative of no temperature so randomly started counting from 32? :p

Sorry, but calling good old Celsius insane is fighting talk :lol:

That's the water temp. When you are in the ocean, we dont always get that high here during the summer.

If only we could measure temperature in fries, there would be no more arguments over Celsius or Fahrenheit or Kelvin.

I know we Americans need to get off the Imperial system and on the metric system since metric is just so much better than the imperial system.

I'm not American. However, i don't understand the purpose from using Fahrenheit.

As far as i know, Celsius is used by doctors and in weather forecasts while Kelvin is useful especially in thermodynamics.

I'd love it for the weather channel and my doctor to use centigrade. I don't understand what 77 fahrenheit means, I run off to google whenever anyone tells me a temperature.

Sometimes, whenever I put things such as 'it's 39 degrees outside - it's hot', I get about 7,900 messages saying 'that's cold' or
'is that in Celsius?"
