Dear Howard and All, As I scanned this, I read it as 'with 11 (eleven) and 21 (twenty-one) large sizes'. I had to stop and go back to read it more carefully when I realised that what I was reading didn't make sense to me. I'm not saying that what you wrote doesn't make sense � it does � but I found it easy to miss-read. I suppose that this is the reason that we decided in Australia, to use the capital letter L as the preferred symbol for the litre, and mL as the preferred symbol for the millilitre. Your statement would then read: 'This is probably why we are stuck with 1�L and 2�L large sizes'. Cheers, Pat Naughtin CAMS Geelong, Australia
