Hi Keith,

You mean liter? ;-)

Up there in the Great White North, they use those dinky little
"litres" where it takes 4.54609 of them to make a gallon, rather than
the man-sized liters we have, which only take 3.785411784 to make a
gallon. ;-)

Unless, of course, you are talking about blueberries, where we use an
inbetween liter where it takes 4.40488377086 liters to make a gallon
(which we actually don't use much under that name any more, though we
do still use its quart and pint subdivisions).
