    Actually, I use kelvins and radians more than degrees in either meaning. But if I use degrees, it is usually for centigrades.
    My present job involves optics to handle laser beams at small angles as well as kinetic gas theory.

    But do you write 70° F or 70° F (20 °C or 20° C)?

    (This should show up as 70o F, 70 oF, 20 oC, 20o C ...)

    20 °C. Here, °C is a single token which would fail to parse if separated ;-)
