If that is the case anyone

If that is the case anyone using Word would need to know how to key a non- separable space and in my experience most don’t. To make it easy for myself I always key degrees without the space.

I would be pretty irritable  if the car’s cabin temperature had exceeded 180C! 😉

Makes a good case for writing “18 Degrees Celsius” rather than “18˚C”

Or at least 18 °C as per the international standard. Only for angular degrees does the degree symbol go after the number without a space.
