Common Mistakes
⚠️
Mistake: Using superscript o instead of the proper ° symbol
Fix: Use ° (°) for degrees. A superscript letter o looks similar but is technically incorrect.
⚠️
Mistake: Confusing ° (degree) with º (masculine ordinal)
Fix: The degree symbol ° is a small circle. The masculine ordinal indicator º is an underlined superscript o.
