That's pretty amazing, seeing as 1) you're too stupid to understand that it's written for an American audience and it's not at all unusual to give both and 2) the actual quote being:
Quote
“The temperature dropped to minus 10 (13 degrees Fahrenheit), stayed there for some time and then it changed to minus 10.4 (14 degrees Fahrenheit) and then it disappeared,” Pidgeon said, adding that he notified scientist Jennifer Marohasy about the problem, who then brought the readings to the attention of the bureau.
The bureau would later restore the original 13 degrees Fahrenheit reading after a brief question and answer session with Marohasy.
And a poli sci/gender studies major talking about science and "maths" should restrict themselves to things that they can fake their way through more successfully so they don't have their asses handed to them.
