Gill (Us)
A gill (US) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one-quarter of a US pint, or 4 US fluid ounces.
History/Origin
The gill originated from the Old French 'gelle' and was historically used in the UK and US for measuring liquids, especially in brewing and cooking. Its usage has declined with the standardization of metric units.
Current Use
Today, the US gill is rarely used in everyday measurement but may still be encountered in historical contexts, traditional recipes, or specific industries like brewing and bartending in the United States.
Exaliter
An exaliter (EL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^18 liters, used to measure extremely large quantities of liquid.
History/Origin
The exaliter was introduced as part of the metric system's extended prefixes to facilitate measurement of vast volumes, though it is rarely used in practical applications due to its enormous size.
Current Use
The exaliter is primarily used in scientific contexts, such as astrophysics and large-scale environmental studies, where measuring extremely large volumes is necessary.
