neutral  Aurelius1: It doesn't exactly sound English...in this context. I based it on the words of a native speaker of English :-). We are aiming to translate "z dokładnością do 1/10" and you translated "z dokladnoscia 1/10". Pozdrawiam :-)

I would also add "up" to the translation. So to me the proper and most accurate way of translating it would be "with accuracy up to 1/10 of a degree Celsius".

Having lived in the English speaking environment for nearly 6 years (we speak it at home) and having used English for nearly 15 I find that my ability to speak the language suffers anytime I visit this website...

  -> As it happens I based my translation on words of "someone" who's native in English and they find it difficult to agree with "an accuracy of" in this context. However, I value and respect your opinion on the matter in question...
