 It happened! I did try to reverse engineer the amazing rye bread from
the small bakery in the country side, and I'd say I got about 70% of the
way.
 Here's the recipe:

 3/4 dl honey
 Enjoy!

 Will do - if - what is the conversion on a "dl"?
 Is that decaliter?
 

A decaliter is equal to 10 liters, perhaps he meant
deciliter, that's 1/10th of a liter.

 You're supposed to be nice and capitalize the 'L,' because lowercase 'l'
is short for lumens.  Maybe it's not as important anymore since light is
measured in watts now.
 

You're supposed to be nice and direct your post to the person
who wrote dl with the admonishment of capitalizing the L.
That would be D, all I did was copy his post.
 

 And I am ready to fight to the death with the lirpa in order to protect
my
right to write dl!

I am ready to fight to your death for your right to dl. These gals are
just looking for an excuse to hassle you. They know you're not talking
About 10 liters or measuring light. Dey just acting stopid. OTOH, 3/4 of
a dl seems weird. Do people actually measure out stuff like that? 75
cc's or 75 mL seems more rational.

Thank you for your support! =)
Of course I know they are just joking, hence my reply. =)
But when it comes to your question, I think it's fairly common. I checked some recipes right now and they said 1/2, 3/4. On the other hand, there are other that might say 0.5 or use cl, so I don't think there's really a standard.
In terms of measuring, isn't it common in the US to use 3/4 inch or 1/8 inch and so on?
