Capital L for liter
[edit]I changed incidences of ul and ml to uL and mL. I realize lowercase l is acceptable, but the Liter article does seem to use capital L as the preferred form. Most scholarly publications also prefer L, mL, etc. Pdcook (talk) 21:08, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Accuracy and Calibration sections
