    Dude you just did it, “low 60s”.

    I see it even on weather forecasts “We’re going to get into the high 70s” which I think is what you didn’t want to say, so you now specified 78.

    And it’s still a completely floating, arbitrary scale.

      ???

      You do know that low 60s is not a 10 degree span, right? Right??

      I’m beginning to see why some of you can’t handle Fahrenheit units of measure…

      ETA: Sure, I might say something like “upper 70s for the high” if I don’t have any better Idea but, again that is not a 10 degree span of temperature units. Please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me you understand that basic premise of communication?!

        That’s what I call round to the nearest 10 degrees. High/low of tens unit if you realllllly want to be pedantic. But at this point I think you’re trying to be really pedantic to win fahrenheit.

        Because the point is: I find it funny when people say Fahrenheit is so much more accurate when they round to the nearest high/low of the tens unit, but then think Celsius has to be given in decimal lol.
