    Mod parent offtopic, as we're discussing units of measure for temperature.

    Celsius will probably win. In my case it's used a lot for approximating and calculating the Speed of sound in seawater. [npl.co.uk]

    I vote none. 'Degrees' isn't a physical quantity that can be measured. It is simply a unit of measure for both temperature and angle.

      i can't vote. 'none' is a non-physical concept that also cannot be measured. is it simply an absence of something, or is the 'none' statement coherentt and meaningful, therefore 'something'?
