    What do you mean by decimal use? I live in a country who has always used C°, and never in our life we had to use decimal points for everyday usage. All boilers and ovens and kettles and thermostats and lab equipment is used with whole numbers.

      Yeah, basically the only time we encounter decimal in celsius is when measuring body temperature.

      That sounds strange. All digital celsius thermometers I have encountered in my celsius using country, whether for measuring air, food or body temperatures have decimals.

      However it also seems to be a specifically US thing to be afraid of decimals, they really aren’t that big of a deal and it seems the only reason to not like them is if you are unfamiliar with them.
