Hey! It works! Not that I ever doubted you... =))

Well, quite honestly, as an engineer, I'll disagree with you. The º belongs to the 9. The unit of measure, well, that could be F, C, K, maybe even latitude or longitude. It could even stand alone as 9º. Although "6º of separation" wouldn't fly in my book.

Oops. Didn't really mean to group the F, C and K like that, but it's pretty funny in retrospect. :D

I'm an engineer, dammit, not an English major.
Yea, right...

I have moved our few posts about proofreading, grades, etc. into an academic discussion thread, because I strongly agreed with ArkieDukie that that conversation was worthy of its own place.
