You need some consistency in your use of the symbol for square kilometers/kilometres (km², not sq km). Suggest also dumping the commas for the 3-digit separator (I NEVER use them – had a boss in Canada who was very particular about not using commas, and the habit has never gone away). Use a space instead.
For volume, you could also use a car engine size – again in liters/litres (L). John F-L From: Paul Rittman Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2012 6:55 PM To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:51664] Real-life examples of weight and volume I like to keep a list of real-life examples of units, so when I come across metric dimensions, I can recall (or state for others) a suitable comparison point. I have some decent ones for area (at least for someone who lives in southern California, United States), but am not comfortable with the examples for volume and weight. Do others here on this list have some good real-life examples? You can see what I have, on this pdf: http://www.paulrittman.com/Metric.pdf No virus found in this message.
