If I am trying to estimate the volume of something, I mentally estimates its 
length, breath and height in decimetres and multiply out to get litres.  Other 
than that, I see very little call for decimetres.

  Hi there people;

  I might be mistaken with my views of proper metric usage yet I fell the need 
to share the embarrassment of asking if there is a place held in the proper Si 
metric system that includes Decimeter.

  I have asked this question of .0 and often I have received mixed answer that 
would include .00 (Centimeter)as a focal point of the question. The answer 
would still lack definition.

  Again I find the need to ask if there is a place held in the SI metric system 
called Decimeter that represents .0 ? 

  Looking forward to any input that might help define the wonderment I often 
encounter.

  Thanks 
  Tim Moylan
