these MFs convey weight in whatever the fuck "stone" is. don't let them shame you for not using liters
It’s 14 lb. Definitely a contender for the dumbest unit in common use.
Should just be called a fortpound
The point is at the wrong place. And how much is this lb in litres?
0.454 l
Thaanks!
They'll also list height in meters and centimeters, but list driving distance in miles.
Nah, height is feet and inches
Depends which part of the country you live in
Rough people height generally feet (“a 5ft lass”, “he’s gotta be 7ft!”), actual height in m or cm. Except above a certain height and then well it’s a 15ft drop or a 3000ft munro
They're metres and centimetres, but your point is still moot due to our prescribed 3000ft Munros
Stone is only real used for body weights now, and mostly be older people. I see metric weights used a lot more in medicine and by younger folk now.
in this context i actively refuse to respect British spelling
Whenever I see meter and liter spelled the English way I pronounce it Frenchly in my head with a gargled R.
"lee-tray"
It’s French.
And this is English. Do you write an exchequer or a check?
Yeah sorry it’s a cheque
*Czech.
Haven’t written a cheque for years, it’s been online banking and digital payments and money transfers for years.
