I live in the USA and still use the old method, that being Fahrenheit. My grandsons, who also live here in Indiana, are learning about Celsius and the teachers compare the two measurements together. The same is true with the metric system and the old decimal system. We are the only country, I believe that is behind on these measurements and I think we need to catch up with the rest of the world. It is hard for old fogies like me to change, though.

Fahrenheit is the way temperature is usually measured in the US, were I live. That's normal for me.However, the standard way to calculate temperature globally is Celsius especially in Chemistry....

We use Celsius here but I still think in Fahrenheit because that is what I grew up in.  I still have to stop and translate it into something that is valid to me!I am in Canada.  We switched over a few decades ago from Imperial to Metric.  I was thrilled because all the best cookbooks were suddenly out of date and I literally cleaned up and filled my shelves with them.All the better to be capable of creating anything you might request when you hand me a menu of requests for that special meal you were asking about a few weeks ago.I STILL have not got the distance measurements down yet!  If a man says to me he is 170 cm tall, I have to ask him to put it into "real numbers".  Btw, how tall are you?Afternote and interesting observation from reviewing your answers.  The countries that have already been assimilated into the New World Order have been unified to "international standards" use Celsius.  America, one of the last and bravest countries to avoid this horrid assimilation is still Fahrenheit.
