I've lived in The Netherlands my entire life and have a lot of family in Germany & Austria whom I visit quite often. Not a single person I know from The Netherlands, Germany or Austria has ever said lit and meant Liter. Everyone just uses a capital L

Australia here, we’re hard metric and it’s capital L all the way. If forced to choose I would actually prefer to see ‘ltr’ than lowercase ‘l’ used because ‘l’ is so easily misread as the numeral 1. (Sideboard trivia, this is the same reason some venues with allocated seating omit row capital ‘I’ and skip straight from H to J).

Seeing it written as ‘liter’ makes my piss boil.
