Comment on Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat

  Fair, my bad! Sorry if it was offensive.

  I just got a little sick of all the Fahrenheit domination around here. This, in turn, is often left without clarification, despite the system being way less popular.

    Metric ton of folks or colonial? Please clarify.

    I agree though, that’s why I like posting conversions from time to time on other posts that are US defaults.

    Being from Russia, I’m fine with people using the units they are more confident with or used to.

    (Not specifying units may be a bit confusing, but then people here don’t say\write “it’s 20 degrees Celsius” either.)

      Russian-languaged media is not commonly consumed by someone living under imperial/Fahrenheit system, so it’s only natural.

      For English, it might make sense to at least always add Celsius in parentheses, unless it’s highly regional news.

      Also, привет русским леммиводам :D
