I found litres (spelled "liters") mentioned several times in examples
such as the following one:
For example, the reasoning that “if five people need 12.5 liters of
water for a camping trip, then eight people need 20 liters” would be
accepted as a sensible rule-of-thumb in everyday life.
It almost seems like they are ASSUMING metric will be used so they
don't bother STATING that metric should be used.
