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

    22 would rarely be nice in F unless (context clues) we’re in a bad winter but going to a much worse one.

      Yeah the first one you can get context from the current weather, but the second is the one that lacks any context without additional conversation. You know what provides the context easier? Saying Celsius of Fahrenheit.

        I mean I guess. Someone who switches systems between sentences sounds like a deranged outlier though.

          It is incredibly tough to have conversations with Americans who think local means their units yes.

          They don’t even realize they do it, it’s 22c where they are, so that’s what they refer to, but back home they use their local units there. Both are local, they aren’t changing anything like a deranged lunatic. They just fuck it up since they never denote units ever.

          Simple concept really.
