Thanks for pointing out the mistakes, Jim. I've already made the corrections. I never noticed that �C could be treated like a unit. Looking through the SI brochure, I see that they always have a space between the number and the symbol in all examples. And I see the part where they show that one can add a prefix to �C. So for consistency's sake I'm going to go ahead and treat �C like I would any other symbol, with a space between it and the number. Can anyone come up with a good argument to the contrary?
If anyone finds any more mistakes in the metric kitchen site, by all means let me know! John On Monday 02 February 2004 18:37, James Frysinger wrote: > Nice site with great eye-appeal, John!
