Note
The plural is regular and usually covers any amount other than exactly one, fractions included: 0.5 liters, 1.5 liters. The symbol never takes the s, so fifty liters is written 50 L or 50 l, never 50 Ls. Liters is the American spelling; the same quantity is litres in the other spelling, and the unit is the same cubic decimeter either way.
