pytz question: GMT vs. UTC

[Roy Smith]

You josh, but there are negative temperatures in Kelvin. They're hotter
than infinitely hot.

Negative Kelvins also have meaning as relative measurements. "The
framzit is changing temperature at a rate of -3.6 K per gigafortnight"

It's not actually double line spacing. It's single spaced using UNICODE
DOUBLE COMBINING LINEFEED WITH QUOTE MARKER as line terminators.

Clearly, the FSR is broken beyond repair.

And remember to say "Kelvins" not "Kelvin" when speaking about
temperatures other than 1 K.

And remember to write kelvins. SI units named after people such as
kelvin, watt and pascal are lower case while their symbols have a
leading capital: K, W, Pa.

Yes, correct.

(I focussed on the word *degree* in the expression
"degree kelvin".

Indeed. Many years ago, I was taught to capitalize units that were
originally proper nouns. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time
I've learned that is incorrect, but my fingers keep insisting on doing
it. Interestingly, one does capitalizes Celsius when writing "degrees
Celsius" [at least according to the NIST].
