OH ALSO. I was at a quiz night last night and a couple of girls from the USA were on my team. One of the questions was "what's 100 deg Centigrade in Fahrenheit?" We immediately asked them "So, what temperature does water boil at in Fahrenheit?"
They didn't know.
... right.
Is this common? Do YOU know what the boiling point of water is in your local unit? They said they didn't know because they only used boiling point in science classes, where Celsius was used. Is that true? I'm sure I knew what temperature water boiled at before I took a science class, but... is this just something that you guys generally don't know? ???
