I understand that. But note that the most common use of liters in America is for car engines. I don't know if you have overlooked that, or if you also think of that as a liquid volume. Actually engine sizes use both meter-based (e.g. '500 cubic centimeters') and liter-based (e.g. '1.3 liters') units. We would think it very odd to hear somebody say they have a 500 milliliter motorbike. Suitcases and backpacks are also quoted in liters. However, I note that some mobile phones are quoted in cubic centimeters rather than ml. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
