And Canada, but we're really messed up. Most people I know across multiple generations use Fahrenheit for indoor temperature, cooking, and water you might swim in. Celsius is for outdoor air temperature, mostly, I think, because that's how weather is reported. There is a fair amount of variation, but I don't think I've heard anyone using Celsius for cooking.
