But seriously though, who the Hell has ever used Rankine? The SI system of measurement is older than the discovery of absolute zero, so there was never a reason for that bastard unit of measurement to exist in the first place, except to be a contrarian asshole.

Maybe over there, they use it to give temperature differences a proper unit. Where we use Kelvin, they probably use degree Rankine.
Over where? Here in the US, where I am? Even as an American I think that shit is ridiculous.
It’s just a guess. My thermodynamics lecturer at least became furious when somebody used °C instead of K for expressing temperature differences.
A thermodynamics lecturer in the US would want people to use K (not °R!) too.
I thought everything is done in freedom units over there.
