::::: I don't keep track where I saw the references (I was doing some deep research on the history of old centigrade thermometers and came across the older names for it).   [''Centesimal degree'' was mentioned in the Wikipedia article '''Celsius'''.]   I just support the alternate spellings, misspelled or not.   If some number of people use the misspellings, my program accepts it in an attempt to support the (named or misspelled) temperature conversions.   This shouldn't be construed as an endorsement, nor a tacit approval of the misspelling(s). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:32, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

:::::: I'd rather tell a user about apparently wrong input (as Google does: "did you mean ....?") instead of accepting it. Anyway, centigrade and Celsius are the only names for that scale that I know. Thanks for telling me about Celsius' merits. --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 05:10, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
