This advertisement cracked me up in a car magazine I was reading (the use of 'kelvin':
Xenon bulbs use the latest in halogen technology to produce whiter, brighter light. Halogen gases (such as Xenon) burn at a higher "Kelvin temperature" than standard incandescent bulbs, for output that is closer in color to natural sunlight.
I don't know if you caught it, but I just thought it was funny how they cited "Kelvin temperature" like it itself is a property of the gas, like a boiling point or melting point. As if it doesn't burn at a high centigrade or fahrenheit temperature...
Are there any things you people have noticed misused like this?
