I can't recall the last time I saw "cc" in writing. However, "mL" seems to be pronounced "see see" by medical practitioners; it's simply easier to say than "mililiter". Similarly, "km" is pronounced "klick" by military types.

The difference is usually obvious from the context given that ml is a measure of volume and the other one is a very small measure of distance. Yes, they are pronounced the same way. (Writing a milli-inch as min is probably not a good idea.) > It isn't so hard to say em-ell. True, but no one does in the real world.
