Many people, I know, use Fahrenheit. But does it make sense to anybody??
Centigrade clearly doesn't to weather forecasters, several of whom have recently said that temperatures of 11 degC are twice the seasonal average - since "twice" implies an absolute rather than relative scale, they must mean that temperatures would normally be 142K (or minus 131 degrees Centigrade).
(Sorry for the pedantry - just been listening to "More or Less", and their more rigorous approach is hard to shake off!)
