Yes, they use both. Celsius primarily, but still both. Ask them how hot their oven is, or the temperature of the pool.


Canadians don't know what 15f is going to look like though

275, 375, 400, 425, and hot are arbitrary settings to me, not particular temperatures. They're comparable only in that they're ordered. This is not an understanding of the scale, beyond knowing that it's talking about temperature. I definitely could not tell you how 100f relates to a standard room temperature of 18C


Sure. I was just pushing back on the “America doesn’t metric system, lol” cliche.
