==spelling of kelvins==
From the USMA (United States Metric Association):
The '''kelvin (K)''' temperature scale is an extension of the degree Celsius scale down to absolute zero, a hypothetical temperature characterized by a complete absence of heat energy. Temperatures on this scale are called '''kelvins''', NOT degrees kelvin, kelvin is ''not'' capitalized, and the symbol (capital K) stands alone with no degree symbol. [The official name was changed to "kelvin" and symbol "K" by the 13th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967.]
In light of this, perhaps the author of this Rosetta Code task (or anybody) would like to correct the spelling and/or capitalization of the task's wording. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 01:33, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
