Talk:Teaspoon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What up teaspoon lovers? If anyone wants to talk spoon, holla;{)

Seem to remember once being told that a gubbock (sp?)is the name for the teaspoon left at the bottom of the sink when you have finished washing everything else up -is this true? (I've (Adrian) added the seperation after this message, but it isn't my message)

Who keeps changing "ml" into "mL" ? Although "mL" is theoretically correct, "ml" is the most common form, used much more than "mL". -Adrian.

See litre#Symbol for a brief discussion of the ml vs. mL issue in different countries. If you say things like "most common" without adding a country or region, you may want to travel more. Markus Kuhn 14:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

"If you say things like "most common" without adding a country or region, you may want to travel more."

I've lived in 5 countries, and traveled through more, and still this is the first time I've seen "mL". Every scientific text I've read (American and European) used "ml". While the "l/L" controversy is understandable because of the potential confusion, "ml" and "mL" do not share that problem. Changing "ml" into "mL" is done to be consistent with an American decision, while the majority of the rest of the world uses the lowercase "ml". But since it's such a controversy, I won't change them.
