The period decimal point separator (bottom) is the single example in which Burgerland has a superior formatting system to Eurasia CMV

My reasoning is that the period is a “stronger” punctuation mark than the comma, and it should be used for the more important separation.

    I use celsius in everyday interactions with Americans and it’s fun to watch their face wrinkle up

      temperature is so easy to convert check it out:

      10 C = 50 F
      20 C = 68 F
      30 C = 86 F
      40 C = 104 F

      they’re all 18 degrees F apart since a C is 9/5 of an F

          i think someone here posted this, or maybe it was on lemmy, but here’s how I remember the range of temperatures in C
          0 is freezing
          10 is not
          20 is warm
          30 is hot

                  :( im no fan of Big Heat. I’d much much rather live in the cold than the heat personally. Best of luck to you and I hope you get a break from it
