In terms of building a "widely usable knowledge base", temperature conversion is not rocket science. Frankly, if someone can't manage to do conversion between common temperature units (F<-->C) (with the assistance of a pencil, the units program, or Google) I'm not sure I'd let them near my servers... | |

Don't we aim to develop a widely usable knowledge base? I can't ask a question in Spanish and expect Spanish anwers either, so there are some common conventions. I'm curious what the convention for these units is. | |
