How hard is it to add c or f to the end of a tempreture
How the hell are people supposed to know if you are using celsius or fahrenheit
A lot of people type the way they speak. It would sound ridiculous to include it in a casual conversation with someone you know is using the same standard as you.
I do agree though that a unit should be included when speaking to a broad audience though and I don’t think that would be a very unpopular opinion tbh. I’m a man of science though and I’ve been trained by enough teacher saying “30 what? Bananas?!” that I pretty much always include them be default even when it’s clear.
Is it ridiculous to include it? Or were you taught that? We were taught to include it, granted, we have to deal with metric and imperial measurements from imports, but why is it ridiculous to make sure you’re providing the right information?
Ridiculous is definitely not the right word to use in this case, I will admit. I think my point still stands though. Many people are used to being in a situation where people implicitly understand what they’re referring to. If people can shorten language in any way while still retaining the same meaning they will in a lot of cases.
Most people not in the US need to deal with both in most casual conversations. So they need to clarify almost all units.
I’m in a trade, almost every material is imperial in my metric world. Everyone I deal with with knows the confusion that can happen, so it’s always unit denotions on everything.
I would laugh if my buddy told me it was going to be 90 f tomorrow. Obviously it’s Fahrenheit, it’s not possible to be 90 c where we are.
For Celsius I’m pretty sure I hear people say “C” right after they say the temps
