It's common to say degrees Kelvin, but incorrect. The reason is that it is an absolute scale rather than a relative scale. It's stated as (for example) 5500 kelvins (small k), or 5500K. Essentially, 'kelvin' replaces the word 'degree'.
It used to be called degrees Kelvin, but that was changed.

I do use a digital device in my photographic pursuits when necessary.
When someone rags on me for using film, I use a middle digit, upraised.
