 or just a misspelling in some Wikipedia articles and elsewhere?
 Thanks in advance

http://www.onelook.com/?w=celcius&ls=a - the alleged entries either come up with no entry found or redirect you to celsius - apart from the wiki page for the rap album Celcius, and we all know that rappers can't spell ;-)

YOY should rosettacode insist and propagate a misspelling (my view) instead of using the usual word (Celsius was the one who defined the Celsius scale) --Walterpachl (talk) 20:20, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
