I wonder if you two are talking about degrees C, degrees F or one of
each.......



Only use US American degrees where I live.


There is no such scale and this is not where you live but an international
forum. It is peculiar to the USA that so many citizens think what they do
is normal, even universal, but in fact it is not so. Just as we need to
allow for differences in gardening custom ( eg, naming plants such as
pumpkins) I think being explicit about measurements is useful for good
communications.
