The article lists Celcius first in the body of the text, with a Fahrenheit translation in parenthesis. The title then uses only Fahrenheit.

I assume the comment was meant to indicate, pick a unit of measure and stick to it. As opposed to Fahrenheit at the top, and Celcius in the body. Not to antagonize the use of Fahrenheit in general.

Also, stating that the use of Celcius is Euro-centric is a little awkward:

    TIL that the Fahrenheit scale was invented in either The Netherlands or England by an ethnic German born in Poland rather than in England by an English person born Englishly in England as I had always thought in spite of the German-sounding name 😆
