I also have a YouTube channel which is mostly about computer software:

Units of Measure
1000 millilitres = 1 litre 1000 ml = 1 l
355 millilitres = 355 ml = 12 fl. oz. = 12 fluid ounces, sometimes called 12 oz. = 12 ounces
The 'fluid ounce' is not the same as the 'ounce' used for weight: 1 pound = 1 lb. = 16 oz. = 16 ounces
