Question for those who use the metric system
When measuring liquids for say a recipe, what's the equivalent for our ounce? Do you use Liter and milliliters and that's it?

Ounces can be either dry or liquid.
For dry measure grams are used for liquid measure milliliters are used.
The reason for the difference is the that an ox is apparently both a unit of weight but also of volume. Metric uses separate systems for each.

I use both, as well as tsp, cup etc.
It depends what I'm measuring . If it's small or precision amounts I use metric, if it's larger I use imperial or cooking amounts.
Same as size measurements. Metric is good for fine, small work , while larger stuff like building stuff imperial is better.
Although I can visualize the distance of a kilometer better than a mile ....but that might be just familiarity .

@Ontheroad I'm not opposed to either system.
And I don't know why people kick up a fuss about it .
Each has it's benefits. Metric is easier to calculate on the fly, but imperial has more division options.
Some things are just easier to visualize.
Like, 2cm- easy, 7/8" is hard ....and it really screws me over when they give inch measurements with percentages like .87 of an inch - that does my head in!
It's like, ffs , stick to one system for God's sake 😂
...and height ...I mean, who can visualize 170cm?
5'7" is way easier .
