I SUPPOSE that if the thermometer is put deeper into the water...then less of the thermometer has a surrounding of warm, room-temperature air...So the mercury would be ever so more slightly more chilled...and lower the zero point (as well as all other points) ?

Nothing if the thermometer is already at the same temperature. ;)
