<<Then US Americans should speak AMERICAN instead of English. The whole world uses much easier and more logical system called the metric system. >>
We ARE the world.
We ARE the world.
When will English do "great spelling shift"?

<Do they use exclusively Celcius in Britain though? Or is Fahrenheit still there sometimes? When I went to Canada, I noticed that they usually still include both, but the C temp is listed first. How about in Australia and New Zealand and South Africa?>
Actually, Canadians almost always use Celicius exclusively. My Canadian friend said she had no idea how cold or hot it is when Americans say "50 degrees." The same goes for other English-speaking countries.
However, some older generations(people in their 70s, 80s) prefer to use Fahrenheit as they are more used to it.

>40 damn hot (Summer in Arabia and/or Africa)
35-40 real hot (Summer in Texas)
30-35 hot (A hot summer day in the Midweast and/or Northeast)
25-30 warm (A hot summer day in California)
20-25 nice (Summer in Seattle)
15-20 refreshing
10-15 cool
5-10 chilly (A cold winter day in LA)
0-5 cold (A cold winter day in Seattle)
neg. 10-0 very cold (A cold winter day in NYC)
neg. 20-neg.10 real cold (Winter in Minnesota, Maine and etc)
below neg. 30 damn cold (Winter in Siberia, Northern territories in Canada)
Seriously, once you get used to it, it's not difficult at all.

Phoenix is around 40 degrees in summer. Sure makes it sound more tolerable than 104.
My observation about Canada is that Canadians always state the weather in celsius, but at least in every apartment I ever lived in, the oven still had temps listed in Fahrenheit. Of course being rentals I never had a particularly new oven.

So do the people from the rest of the world!

Yes, but in Canada, the Fahrenheit temp is usually still listed in parenthesis after the celsius temperature. That's in contrast to all non-English countries, where Fahrenheit is never listed at all.

Then why can't the US list the Celcius temperature parenthesis after the Fahrenheit temperature?
It's better than listing the Spanish signs parenthesis after English.
"For English, please press one, para Espanol blah blah dos"
