Confusing sentence
"...they start with a lowercase letter (e.g., newton, hertz, pascal), even when the unit is named after a person and its symbol begins with a capital letter.[28]:148 This also applies to "degrees Celsius", since "degree" is the beginning of the unit." This sentence is confusing, since a reader might think "Celsius" is a typo. How many readers are apt to know that the unit is named after a person, Anders Celsius? The sentence should be amended to indicate why "Celsius" is in caps even though it is (part of) a name of a unit. TKdammers (talk) 04:45, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
