      Not necessarily the same thing. Footpath is a wider category that contains sidewalks as one element

        I can guarantee you that in my country and to a lesser degree my state as other states have different terminology, they are called footpaths. Sometimes they may be bikepaths (often distinctly separate) or shared paths. Where the tree is planted is a naturestrip if it’s between road and footpath.

        I do appreciate what you are saying but the joke was that Celsius and footpath were the replacements for the Americanisms. Whereabouts do you live? Did you just Americansplain me? (this is also a joke)
