I'm fully aware of that, and I will thank almost everyone, who copyedit my writings. In the case of totally insurmountable language, please write me a message, what did the hell I mean, instead of butchering the whole text.

Have You Met People Confusing Grams and Milliliters?

I meet them here and there. Probably, they sometime have heard that 1 gram = 1 milliliter, and fixed that as common truth in their memory, not providing an important disclaimer, this is true only for liquid water. And when they come across with substances/solvents other than water, their confusions sound odd to my ears, and today I've learnt that there is a type of medicinal error where a health care specialist confuses milligrams and milliliters...

I searched on the topic, and noticed, that some web services reinforce such misconception (for example, a service converting grams to cubic feet)... But why!?

Please let me (Tosha Langue) know, if there is a resource to contribute this information. Thanks!
