BTW, I installed a digital indoor/outdoor thermometer that is displaying in
Celsius only. Some roommates and neighbors ignore it or ask what it means
in the old units. Most of my roommates understand it because they have
lived abroad for a few years. Some people think it is kind of an oddity,
but I haven't had much hostility to it. (It's my thermometer, after all,
and I can do what I want with it--they recognize that).
At our house all the thermometers, and the two thermostats, register in Celsius only. My family had no trouble understanding them -- it took them less than a week to understand the new scale of reference.
