>From the daily "HeadlineNewsMail," from CNN.
Note the use of "15 centimetres," with neither a comment nor a change to
American spelling.
Britons are facing their iciest winter since 1994
with heavy snow and freezing temperatures
causing chaos across the UK. Around 15 centimetres
of snow fell across most of the UK on Thursday, with
some flights cancelled and police urging motorists to
stay off the roads with the freezing weather forecast to
last for days. They warned that driving conditions would
remain treacherous with black ice on many roads after
overnight temperatures plummeted to minus 10C (14F).
I assume they omitted the degree sign because they're unsure of how to make
it display on all email platforms.
