    It’s an incredibly euro-centric view to think that the rest of the world uses the metric system. Heck, even the UK mixes and matches units contextually. Plenty of global industries apply their own standards.

    I’ve never seen an American on the Internet suggest China move from Chi to Feet, for example. Europeans just assume that they use Meters because they’re polite enough to just do the conversion on their end for international trade.

      You do realise we’re talking about Celsius here, don’t you?

      The UK absolutely uses Celsius, as does the vast majority of the world. To my knowledge it’s just the US and Liberia.

      There is nothing Eurocentric about saying Celsius is the standard. There is, however, extreme US-centricity in thinking Fahrenheit is the normal one.

          Yes, the UK mainly uses metric but for a few things they use imperial or both. For road signs they’re mostly imperial - what does that have to do with Celsius?

          You’re not making yourself look good here by deliberately going off-topic.

            Let me begin by apologizing for asking about things across the pond.
