[Adster]

Begin by subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit number. Divide the answer by 9. Then multiply that answer by 5.

speaking of america doing things strange having summer when winter is driving on wrong hand side of road spelling center centre measureing in yards and inches instead of metres and cm

heres somthing funny they had to create ther own letter prenounced ZEE not ZED

As usual in most of these matters, it's the people of the US that changed it, not the other way around. "Zed" comes from the original Greek zeta via Old French zede, and pretty much all English speakers worldwide pronounce it that way. The reason we don't is because we had a pretty major falling out with the people that did, and in the aftermath, seized on dialectical nuances and amplified them. The last thing an American wanted to sound

According to the Concise Oxford Companion, "The modification of zed ... to zee appears to have been by analogy with bee, dee, vee, etc." You kind of get the feeling that this wasn't the most important letter of the alphabet, not only from this sloppy attention to its pronunciation, but also by such quotes as Shakespeare's "Thou whoreson Zed, thou unneccessary letter!" Lye's New Spelling Book (1677) was the first to list "zee" as a

by indoctrinating British, Australian, and Canadian kids when they're young. The plan was, take a catchy tune by some pop composer like, oh, say Mozart, and attach the alphabet to it. The previously mentioned 'analogy' with other letters enables you to rhyme the last line of the song, and even a four year old can tell that the line following "q r s, t u v" is not supposed to be "w x, y and ZED".

This so-called "Sesame Street Phenomenon" is noted in almost all other English-speaking countries, and was addressed by J.K. Chambers in a study of kids in Ontario, in which he noted a lessening of the taboo on "zee" in the Canadian schools. Even in England itself, elementary teachers are complaining that they have to re-teach the pronunciation of the letter when 5 and 6 year olds come to school, and when they sing the song, they typically do so with the

[SingaBoiy]

Bah, should be pronounced zee, not zed anyways. And 111 F isnt that hot. Try Afghanistan or Arizona, US. Those are some hot places :P

[SingaBoiy]

However, the record highest temperature ever measured in the U.S (134 degrees F at Death Valley, CA in July of 1913), and the hottest temperature ever recorded anywhere on the globe (136 F at Al' Aziziyah, Libya in September of 1922) (http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/scienceques2001/20020524.htm)
My state has the hottest temp in the US :01:

[thewizeard]

Well I think we should have some sympathy for Adster...I know hundreds of French, mainly old folk, were killed by the heat-wave two years ago...and it did not reach that high, although it did last for a couple of weeks.

[Guillaume]

Hundreds? Try several thousands.


Anyway, that was just a clever plot to solve the pension fund problem. :shifty:

In JUly, we usually get heat-waves that last a few weeks and are about 25 - 40 degrees. We get 40 once or twice a year. I remember last winter, we had -40 celsius.

-40 degrees celsius = -40 degrees fahrenheit.
