Note that I said "relative to absolute zero". DegC IS only offset relative to 0degK, whereas degF is scaled AND offset relative to 0degK. 

Round not conceded.

Both are scaled. Both are offset.

At absolute zero the temperature is 0.00 in both
the Kelvin and Rankine scales

Offset:
0 Centigrade = 273 Kelvin  or Absolute zero = -273C
0 Fahrenheit = 476 Rankine or Absolute zero = -476F

Scale:
1 degree centigrade is 1/100 of freezing to boiling
1 degree Fahrenheit 1/180 of freezing to boiling

There is nothing special about either scale.
