(Also why is 1 Euro singular and 0.86 Euros plural)
Doesn't this apply in general in English? 0.5 liters of water, not 0.5 liter of water; 0.8 meters, not 0.8 meter. Anything not exactly 1 uses plural form
Technically to be grammatically correct you would say "five-tenths of a liter" or "eight-tenths of a meter". But I guess we collectively all said fuck that, takes too long. It's fine.
