      Or 322 kelvins for all the Kelvins out there

          But seriously though, who the Hell has ever used Rankine? The SI system of measurement is older than the discovery of absolute zero, so there was never a reason for that bastard unit of measurement to exist in the first place, except to be a contrarian asshole.

            Maybe over there, they use it to give temperature differences a proper unit. Where we use Kelvin, they probably use degree Rankine.

              Over where? Here in the US, where I am? Even as an American I think that shit is ridiculous.

                It’s just a guess. My thermodynamics lecturer at least became furious when somebody used °C instead of K for expressing temperature differences.

                  A thermodynamics lecturer in the US would want people to use K (not °R!) too.
