I am aware that I’m merely an unwashed Phillistine among learned erudite sophisticates; but it really clenches my jaws when someone posts an article and intentionally uses foreign METRIC data, such as Centigrade for temps. Is that the new snob thing? Why not just post the whole thing in Sanskrit or Tagalog, since there’s no apparent desire to be UNDERSTOOD?!

Since it’s a Yahoo UK article, I assume it’s written by a limey. Regardless, -14, oh no, what a disaster.

It’s an article from Yahoo UK. I would expect an article on cars from this source to discuss output in kW and not hp, too.

Those who are care enough about the subject, are numerate, and educated, can do unit conversions.

In this case, F = 1.8C + 32
