Hi, Is there somewhere a list with the official abbreviations for metric units? At school in Germany I was taught the lowercase l for litre, kg for kilograms and t for tons. Here in Canada I see quite often L for litre or even mL, as well as kgs or mt (metric tons). What's correct? Is the US or UK ton still used anywhere at all? If so, how is it abbreviated?
Last question: I heard some two years ago that the US was planning to pass a law allowings metric-only labeling. I haven't followed developments very closely, what's the status of this? Carsten
