The use of the cL varies from country to country with the French and the Italians using it quite a bit. I have seen wine bottles labeled 750 mL, 75 cL and 0,75 L. (I used the "," deliberately because that is what was on the bottle).
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Millet Sent: 27 July 2007 04:26 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:39196] Use of the centiliter I was going through my sister's math curriculum the other day for fun seeing if I could remember all my math from way back when. My mom homeschools and the curriculum she uses is one from a UK school, which means that thankfully all the problems are in SI. One thing that did throw me for a loop was the questions that asked "how many cL are in one liter" Is the centiliter more common in European schools and life instead of the milliliter? I have to admit to being embarrased on the matching game though. I incorrectly labelled a dog as weighing one metric tonne because the picture looked a lot like the cow next to it at first glance, and the questions where it presented you with a picture and asked you to guess how much each item weighed in real life really threw me. It was a fun test of my very early math skills though. Mike -- "The boy is dangerous, they all sense it why can't you?"
