My brother declared me weird the other day...................

[FinallyFluid]

I like to be warm in Fahrenheit, and cold in Celsius.

Me too! (Use Fahrenheit in summer and Celsius in winter, that is, not think you’re weird).

Thank God, was beginning to think I was the only one.

Makes total sense to me.

I'm going to guess you are 40 or older? I'm 38 and have never understood Fahrenheit everything has been in Celsius since I went to school.

I’m 43 and count exactly like this. Temperatures are either “in the 90s” or “below zero”.

I have managed to switch to Celsius but can still irritate DH by calling it centigrade.

Your brother is right. You're weird. Celsius (or centigrade) only here and I'm mid 50's.

Being weird is a good thing, right?

Yeah, that's entirely normal.

Apparently I am weird because I will say one scone (scon) but many scones (s-cones).

I'm the same and I'm 31. When it's too hot I tend to say "Urrgh, it's 87 degrees and I'm boiling!" When it's cold I'll shiver and declare: "It's minus 2!"

Also, my usual reaction to being called weird is to be flattered and say "Why, thank you dear! " is

Same!
I thought everyone did this! It makes sense to me

What?! Where are you people from?!

Although, I weigh babies in lbs but everything else in kgs.

@Cuddlyrottweiler I live in England.

Just my way. I accept I'm a bit weird

Is it an age thing? I'm not sure. My parents are in their 60s and don't understand Fahrenheit at all. Consequently, I don't either. They've only ever used Celsius.

I can't use kg for babies either. They don't mean anything, yet I use kgs for cooking.

People are lbs and oz’s ; food is grammes. Apart from when I’m baking, then its oz’s again. Temperature is always •c for me, but I’m an eighties child. Does that make a difference?

Yep that's weird. I'm 42 with parents aged 69 and 73 and none of us would ever use Farenheit. I have no concept of what a temp in the 80s in Fahrenheit feels like.

Only use metric for weighing myself too and the very rare occasions I check the DC. I have absolutely no clue what they would be in stones and have never managed to remember how many pounds are in a stone.

I know my height in feet, buy fabric in metres but then take hems up in inches. I cook in ounces, but weigh myself in kilos.
I can use an oven in F, C, or gas marks.

I got called a nerd today by a Halfords employee. I was very flattered.

I’m 38 and until a few years ago I think I was the same. Mostly use Celsius all year now but definitely grew up with Fahrenheit being the norm for hot weather in particular.

You’re not weird OP - you speak my language!

You are doing it right op! I wonder why we do this? 😂

This is totally normal! I think it’s a mid 40’s thing…

I never use Celsius except when we used to go abroad for sunny holidays (remember?) I always would see the temperature in Celsius. I now am more aware of it and sometimes use it. But prefer lb oz and inches . But that said I went to school and was taught tables in old money, to be told forget it .
Not weird at all. Celsius has fond memories of sunny climes for me .

When my DM is buying fabric she buys 54in wide but buys 2 metres.

Perfectly reasonable. Means everything fits nicely in a scale from 0 for freezing to 100 for really hot. There’s a vague area in the middle where they switch over - but we don’t talk about that.
