Sorry, you right I should have used the L vs l. I just typed it too fast and didn't proof it well.

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
