I’ve learned about them in school, but I’ve never heard anyone say something is 8 decameters long or anything like that. I’m an American.

    These two specifically - I don’t think I’ve ever seen them.

    Hectoliters are sometimes used e.g. for measuring beer consumption for an event, decimeters in some informal contexts, some country commonly describe drink sizes in centiliters or deciliters.

    Centimeters are common, I’d say more common than millimeters in informal context.
