Plural for Celsius should be centigrade!

Before the drink Americans were clueless about Celsius at all.

Not that this changed. Now they are clueless and confused.

Especially as Celsius was a name – so at a family gathering ther were many Celsiuses present….

Adjectives don’t have plurals, until people start misusing them.

whats a celsius drink ?

I had never heard of Celsius drinks until reading this. There are so many energy drinks on the market. My favorite is still Colombian, black.

I had those before. Good, but pricey.

Stick to calling it Celsius drinks and you only need to pluralize the word ‘drink.’

You only drink one at a time so don’t need a plural.

I prefer Fahrenheit, seems like you get more.

Celsius drink? Some hot drink served to people who live in Celsius, that little town up in Canada where it’s really, REALLY cold all the time? (14 degrees here, but 10 below in Celsius?)

I seem to be the only one here who is impressed that Toby is even aware that some words — many of them derived from Greek and Latin roots — don’t become plurals simply by following the English rule of adding “s” or “es.”
