"Mashed potatoes at 5 degrees Kelvin Still not Effective Superconductors"
- _Microft 6y agoThe "Kelvin" is the great exception with temperature units by the way, as it is not used with "degrees" but just on its own.
- Dylan16807 6y agoI'd use it anyway just to annoy people, to be honest. It's not like the distinction is particularly based on logic. Edit: They used to use degree Kelvin, so it's not even wrong.
- _Microft 6y agoAnnoying people intentionally does not sound too clever, is there some context I am missing?
- Dylan16807 6y agoThey won't be annoyed if they use language normally. But if someone is trying to be prescriptivist, they deserve some annoyance. And I didn't say it was clever.
