Not 16 degrees Fahrenheit, but rather, 16 Fahrenheit degrees.
- thefifthsetpin 2y agoReally? Where are you from that they say it that way?
- Tagbert 2y agoyet, 16 degrees Fahrenheit is how we would normally say it.
- readthenotes1 2y agoIs it cupfuls or cupsful?
- robxorb 2y agoNo! It's "cups".
- roter 2y agoThere is support for the OP's statement, in the case of Celsius at least [0], emphasis mine: > Because of this dual usage, one must not rely upon the unit name or its symbol to denote that a quantity is a temperature interval; it must be unambiguous through context or explicit statement that the quantity is an interval. This is sometimes solved by using the symbol °C (pronounced "degrees Celsius") for a temperature, and C° (pronounced "Celsius degrees") for a temperature interval, although this usage is non-standard. Another way to express the same is "40 °C ± 3 K", which can be commonly found in literature.
