    I know I’m literally taking the bait with this, but the argument about saying it’s 10s in Celsius Vs it’s 70s in Fahrenheit makes no sense, because you would just say the number or high/low/mid 10s and that tells you everything you need to know.

      Nobody says “it’s in the 10s” in Celsius. We just say “it’s between 12 and 16”. We don’t have to shorten every thing like in the US. We even have words with many syllables. They don’t scare us.
