To be fair, that is actually common in physics. Elsewhere obviously not so much.

I think the point was that it's just "Kelvin" not "degrees Kelvin"

I didn’t pick that up, but I suppose that’s fair. I’ve heard both, as I have with Celsius.

Celsius = Kelvin + offset in any case, they're not so different .. not like that other scale used in very few countries.
