Then there were my adventures in Quebec with faucets marked C and F.



I don't know French language, but it would not surprise me if those are
the first letters for what ever French is for cold and hot.


What I expected. I have a toaster oven marked "hot surface" and "surface

According to the internet, F is froide (cold).
