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.

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.

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?

 In recipes written for the US, amounts are typically specified in
fractions of a cup or multiples of cup i.e., 1/2 C, 1/4 C, 1/3 C, 2
Cups, 1 Cup, etc. In the construction industry, inches and fractions of
an inch are still in use. The US Automobile industry switched over to
metric around the 70's. We still measure out speeds on the roads in MPH.
 When I was doing graphics work and laying out pages to be printed, I
used inches. OTOH, on some pages using inches was just too hard for my
little brain. For instance, how does one divide an 8-1/2" page into 3
parts? Beats the heck out of me.
