[USMA:48448] Re: kelvin

[mechtly]

For temperature differences, "kelvin degree(s)" and "Celsius degree(s)" are 
equally acceptable in contrast with *positions* on a temperature scale with 
respect to conventional points of reference. e.g. absolute zero, freezing point 
of water, triple point of water, boiling point of water (at a specified 
pressure).
