Yes, surprise, surprise that IS a method of MEASURING the temperature fyi.
WE have departed from utilising the ancient Fahrenheit scale at last and gone METRIC, such a shame some of you
Seppos are still living in the Dark Ages of Numeracy, etc, etc.

We used to use that method but broke away from the Mother England method and went metric instead, far far easier to use, etc, etc.
Psst, don't repeat this BUT I was once told that most of the lesser educated Seppos (Americans) prefer using the old BRITISH scales of measurement because they so miss being English Colonies, especially in States like Cincinnati which so had to steal its name from an ancient and Famous Roman Military General.
