Just to backup what you're saying, I'm the generation you're talking about.
I have a vague idea of my height in feet and inches, I drink pints of beer and I drive miles in the car. That's about it. People may as well be talking to me in a foreign language if they give me imperial units outside of those contexts.
- EdiX 14y agoWhat do you measure body temperature with? Celsius or Fahrenheit?
- ElliotH 14y agoCelsius, expecting a reading of 37 degrees. I never measure anything in Farenheit (I don't actually know how to convert to it, or what a body temperature reading in it ought to be). I do basically everything in Celsius apart from occasionally during my A-Levels (16-18) where I did some conversion to Kelvin.
- onetwothreefour 14y agoNo one outside the US measures in F (since the parent post is about the UK, this is a weird question :)
- EdiX 14y agoA canadian once told me that in canada atmospheric temperature is measured in celsius but body temperature is measured in farenheit, or maybe the other way around.
