-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Errors in symbols Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:20:29 -0500 From: James Frysinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Webmaster, I appreciate being able to read the Charleston SC forecast in metric units with that link that you provide. Thank you for providing that! To return the favor, let me point out a couple of things. The symbol for kilometers per hour is km/h, not kmh. Thankfully you did not make the common and egregious error of using "kph"!!! The temperatures require a symbol following the numerical value and an intervening space. That symbol is °C, so for example 32 °C. In HTML one codes °C to get the space and the degree Celsius symbol. So one could code 32 °C. Note that the space does NOT go between the raised circle and the uppercase C. Modern practice now calls for a space between number and the symbol % just as one always puts a space between number and any other unit symbol. It would be nice if you used hectopascal (hPa) instead of millibar (mbar, which you have erroneously written as mb). regards, Jim Frysinger (past AMS member) -- James R.
