Liter is NOT the basic unit of volume. Liter is the basic unit of capacity, which is a different concept. Even if we wanted to conglobate capacity into volume, the basic unit of volume is the cubic meter, not the liter, which is exactly a billion times smaller than a cubic meter.

: This is a Wiki. And as this page is not locked, that means that you are able to edit the article yourself. On the other hand, you might light to get your claims straight first. The article already says, "The liter is not the unit of volume in that system [the International System of Units]". Does that cover your point? Also, a cubic metre is one ''thousand'' times larger than a litre, surely? Not a ''billion'' times larger? [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 21:00, 4 July 2008 (EDT)

==Common Usage==
I'd like to put in something about use of the metric system world-wide, if no one objects. Are there any problems with this idea? Or is there a difference article that already addresses that? [[User:ArnoldFriend|ArnoldFriend]] 22:27, 2 November 2008 (EST)
