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

        Your example just proved my point. The context for the second one is that the first one is clearly Celsius. Why would you ever change units?

        I suppose if this were a conversation about imperial vs metric you’d give me the example of wanting a 50cm board that’s 2 thick and wondering how the reader was supposed to know you you didn’t mean 2 inches

          I gave you the example, an American would accidentally switch when talking about the weather back home last week as it would be Fahrenheit in a Celsius county. How does that prove YOUR point lmfao.

              They use Fahrenheit 99% of the time, the only time they would ever use Celsius would be for current local weather when traveling.

              Very few people would remember to make the change, and you’re only lying to yourself if you don’t think the vast majority of people would make the mistake. Like it happens all the time when conversing online or IRL already and you want to claim people are smarter than that? Sure buddy…. Why do you think this post exists…? Because it happens lmfao.

      Somewhere where it gets to -10F. That’s like the difference between 50F and 80F
