Lately when I go to the supermarket, I find more and more products that are
hard-metric (ie. have even sizes 3L or 500mL). This is encouraging but
nowhere do I see metric in use by the public.
I wouldn't be too sure of the latter. I use the liter as a household term - including at the supermarket - and no one seems to call me to task. Maybe they note but don't say anything, but then it's an academic question!Nat
