With you so far... >However it is "accepted for use with the International System". Still with you... >However, the litre is a metric unit. Now this is where we diverge. I regard the terms 'metric' and 'SI' as synonyms. This is because of phrases such as 'the International System of Units, which is the modern form of the metric system'. Am I mistaken? Thus I have treated 'accepted for use with the International System' as identical in meaning to 'accepted for use with the metric system'. -- Terry Simpson Human Factors Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.connected-systems.com Phone: +44 7850 511794
