Was/were in regard to liquid measurements - B
Posted: Apr 21, 2011
So I'm not completely clear on this. I know liquid measurements are grammatically to be treated singly--"20 mL of normal saline was given." My question is whether this applies when it's not necessarily a liquid measurement but is currently applied to a liquid. The sentence is "Then, 4000 units of heparin [was/were] given." I want to pick 'were', mainly because 'was' sounds wrong and 'units' are not a solely liquid measurement like mL. Am I wrong?
Go with spellcheck unit(s) is plural n/m - ohiocarole

Cc Or ML When Used For Nonliquid Measurements?
Apr 21, 2010
Hi all, Out of curiousity, we have some radiology doctors here who use the abbreviation 'cc' when referring to measurements that are non-liquid. We usually change cc to mL but in that case it does not seem appropriate. Has anyone else come across this and is this the proper abbreviation to use, or is there another one we should know about, or are the doctors using the incorrect terms? Thanks for any input anyone out there can give me! Maggie ...
