yeP, I come from a land of metric measures & centigrade & celsius are the same thing & completely interchangable.
As far as measuring weights, mass or length/height, the term centigrade is never used. Its only used when measuring tempature - centi, comes from the latin for 100, & with the metric system the tempeture between freezing & boiling (either at sea level or or the altitude of the River Seine in Paris - I forget which, but there's buggerall difference) is made up of 100 units of measurement, hence centigrade (graduated 100 times)
