  Part of the world using Celcius, the rest Fahrenheit doesn't help for sure.

    > Part of the world using Celcius I guess "part of the world" is one way of saying the entire world except 2 countries.

      A lot of Canadians will still give you the weather and pool temperature in Fahrenheit.

  Because until quite recently, this knob mechanically influenced a bimetallic strip which simply shut off the power when it became too cold. I guess you cannot expect precise temperature control from this setup, so why lie to people? Also, you would need to manufacture different knobs for the US market.
