I'm in my 60s. I don't have the conversion formula memorized, and I don't see a need at this time to change. Am I stupid? No, am I stuck in my old ways, sometimes. I know I'm not alone. I like Salon, but for goodness sake, would it kill them. Celsius means nothing to me, and I don't know what the appropriate amount of shock and angst I should feel. If they want the article to have an impact on the most number of people, include Fahrenheit.
That is all.
