The British Engineers use N/mm2 in place of MPa, we have strangeness everywhere

Sadly, most companies ignore that rule, like they ignore the rule about prefixes (1000MG comes to mind).

Too bad they changed too many things at once. It be interesting to see if the filling machine for the milk on the right is calibrated in Liters, assuming the fill volume is metric, someone should write them and suggest the 1.5 L go first as it is obviously the standard measurement on the package vs the equivalent in oz. The actual volume should always go first with the equivalent second. Also the need to add a space after the 1.5 but one problem at a time.

Do not open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails.* Now remember how tightly regulated milk is, and yet here we see both 1.74 (could be 1.75 with a little more fill) and 1.5 liter sizes. In both cases, the silly numbers are the ounce designations, not the metric designations. _______________________________________________ USMA mailing list [email protected] https://lists.colostate.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usma <https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.com%2Fv3%2F__https%3A%2Flists.colostate.edu%2Fcgi-bin%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fusma__%3B!!KwNVnqRv!S8-QN0gAYPTUnDX8fmpIdMNRWT73Kz2jZvV7lTsWg_RaZvJ-5beYETqXnFnCbhK80fM%24&data=04%7C01%7Cusma%40lists.colostate.edu%7C68856a1a2f9e4819f78e08d87a8cf8e7%7Cafb58802ff7a4bb1ab21367ff2ecfc8b%7C0%7C0%7C637394093178020807%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=vhbIR1yWsnWSQp6pxXn3sqmD2%2FZAe4%2BhANjYkQ0tB7Y%3D&reserved=0> _______________________________________________ USMA mailing list [email protected] https://lists.colostate.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usma <https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.com%2Fv3%2F__https%3A%2Flists.colostate.edu%2Fcgi-bin%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fusma__%3B!!KwNVnqRv!S8-QN0gAYPTUnDX8fmpIdMNRWT73Kz2jZvV7lTsWg_RaZvJ-5beYETqXnFnCbhK80fM%24&data=04%7C01%7Cusma%40lists.colostate.edu%7C68856a1a2f9e4819f78e08d87a8cf8e7%7Cafb58802ff7a4bb1ab21367ff2ecfc8b%7C0%7C0%7C637394093178020807%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=vhbIR1yWsnWSQp6pxXn3sqmD2%2FZAe4%2BhANjYkQ0tB7Y%3D&reserved=0>
