[USMA:35387] RE: CMS=cubic meters?

[Carleton MacDonald]

In Costco and elsewhere I see a lot of boxes from Asia with metric-only indications.   However, they all:   Do it in capitals only And think they have  to put a plural after the symbol –   Just like below.   Illiteracy and innumeracy prevail worldwide.   Carleton   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Remek Kocz Sent: Sunday, December 11, 2005 12:57 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:35383] CMS=cubic meters?   Whenever I see the shelves being stocked at Walmart, the shipping boxes are nicely labeled in kilograms (KGS) and in what I assume to be cubic meters (CMS).  A rough estimate of the volume of the boxes seems to confirm this.  Has anyone else encountered the CMS label?
