Degrees Fahrenheit
|
What is the correct way of giving a temperature? What do you say?
1. ... degrees Fahrenheit OR
2. ... Fahrenheit degrees (like in the song by Suzanne Vega (99.9 Fahrenheit degrees)
Just in case: Is that the same for �C ?
A student asked my that yesterday, but I have only ever heard the first version used.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks at Amy and Les! 
That �s what I thought.
So why does Suzanne Vega sing "Fahrenheit degrees"? Any suggestions on that one?
See you around.

Hello Cat. It �s called poetic license. I �m not familiar with the song but it probably sounds better with the words in that order. |
