     Among people who actually know the field, "kelvin" counts as both   
     a unit and a scale. To back that up, I'm just going to quote a   
     bit from the well-known online encyclopedia "Wikipedia".   
      
   |The kelvin (symbol: K) is the base unit for temperature in   
   |the International System of Units (SI). The Kelvin scale is   
   |an absolute temperature scale that starts at the lowest   
   |possible temperature (absolute zero), taken to be 0 K.
