thermodynamics - Degree celsius vs. Celsius degree


While reading my copy of "Resnick and Halliday", I noticed that the book has made a distinction b/w the terms " degree celsius" and "celsius degree". When I googled this, I was able to find only one matching hit(on the first page), which stated that while degree celsius is the unit for the measured temperature, celsius degree is the unit of the difference in temperature. Is this correct?


Please share your knowledge and help me.
