        Dear Orglisters

        I have observed both ml and mL as the unit of volume in reputed
        journals. This is one of the many cases of laxity in presenting
        units. Editors and referees don't seem to be strict enough to
        impose SI units. So is the case with IUPAC names. Journals seem
        to prefer common names over the recommended ones. I would like to
        refer to the book, "Guide for the Use of the International System
        of Unit (SI)" by Barry N. Taylor, published by Uniter State
        Department of Commerce, National Institure of Standards and
        Technology; 1995. This guide is available trough net:
        http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/rules.html
        
        I think it's time we pay more attention towards this.

        Thank you
        Palas Gangopadhyay
