The cake is a lie

[James]

"Unlike the degree Fahrenheit and degree Celsius, the kelvin is not referred to or typeset as a degree."

"The singular "kelvin" should be used for any quantity of temperature (e.g., water freezes at 273.15 kelvin)."

"The omission of "degree" indicates that it is not relative to an arbitrary reference point like the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales...but rather an absolute unit of measure which can be manipulated algebraically (e.g., multiplied by two to indicate twice the amount of "mean energy" available among elementary degrees of freedom of the system)."
