I don't think so. Kelvin has never been a 'degree' it's an absolute scale..

From the Wikipedia article:
"Until the 13th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in
1967–1968, the unit kelvin was called a "degree", the same as with the
other temperature scales at the time. It was distinguished from the
other scales with either the adjective suffix "Kelvin" ("degree
Kelvin") or with "absolute" ("degree absolute") and its symbol was
°K."

But the whole discussion seems pedantic; it was clear in the original
post exactly what was meant and the inclusion of the 'K' did nothing
to confuse the meaning.
