Footnotes
1.
Hectoliter and dekaliter are not used except in rare instances (viz: use "60 Liters," not "6 dekaliters.").
Centimeter is likewise going out of use; use millimeters or meters.
2.
Since 1 milliliter and 1 cubic centimeter are equal, always use milliliter for liquid measure; cubic centimeter (cc)
is obsolete.
3.
"Liter" is spelled with a capitol "L" when used alone to avoid confusion; i.e.:"1 Liter."
4.
In metric terminology, "mass" is always used instead of "weight."
