@Lstn2urmama @bougiewonderland @RL_Dane @ar1 @econads @mysturji @kibcol1049 ITYM "Imperial", not "English. In England we use metric. I gather, however, that in some far-flung reaches of the Empire they still use Imperial.

You may or not be surprised to learn Amerikans don't use Imperial units (think of their pint and gallon for example).

They declared war and gained independence before British Imperial measurements were standardised so have had to define all their strange deprecated units in terms of proper metric units.

This why I usually have to do interpretation of metric Temps...

As I mentioned previously I consider myself pretty much fluent in both metric and Imperial units.

Except temperature. How the hell can anyone tell what 0˚F is? Or 100˚F

@xi_timpin @TimWardCam @bougiewonderland @RL_Dane @ar1 @econads @mysturji @kibcol1049

Basically remember Hot or Cold

Anything over +25c is HOT

Put shorts away at -10c and bring in plants at +2c

When temp hits -40 it is the same in BOTH F or C COLD

NEVER stay outside in COLD wearing nightgown and sandals shoveling or sweeping snow for longer than 3-4 minutes at a time

@Lstn2urmama
Also, 16°C = 61°F

@pthane @Lstn2urmama @xi_timpin @bougiewonderland @RL_Dane @ar1 @econads @mysturji @kibcol1049 Ah, yes, SWG. You can measure fuel consumption in SWG - the thickness of a tube of petrol the car would consume as it drove along.
