There's a Suzanne Vega song called "99.9 Fahrenheit Degrees;" that's
the
only time I've ever heard anyone put the Fahrenheit first, and I've
always
wondered why she chose to (I guess I don't wonder much why everyone
else
puts it second).

I would interpret a phrase like "99.9 Fahrenheit Degrees" or similar as emphasising that they are using Fahrenheit (and *not* Celsius or Kelvin or Rankine or Reaumur ad inf.). Imperative
