Don't go there, bi-weekly and bi-monthly are the same thing, fortnightly.Isn't that akin to furlongs per fortnite?
Until the middle third of the 20th Century, British inches and US inches were different.In the US, for a great many years land was measured with a chain of exact length which laid on the ground, but since the use of transits and optical measuring, the property lines of old established land are being moved. Differing measuring systems have always caused difficulty. Rifles of US and UK manufacture have the rear sites marked in yards, while European rifles were in meters, and Russian rifles were in Arshins.
Is that only in the bedroom?
Ive got twelve inches, but I don't use it as a rule.Obviously, American inches were larger, except in Texas
14 pounds = 1 stone
8 stones = 1 hundredweight
20 hundred weight = 1 ton
20 x 8 x 14 = 2,240 lbs
Couldn't be any easier!
Guess that means we've got an uphill battle ahead, freeing the world from the the tyranny of metricism, but we know we can rely on our allies!Just the super-power countries not using metric now; U.S. of A, Myanmar and Liberia
I do wish people would pay attention, a hundred weight has 112 pounds that's why its called a hundredweight.Hmmmm.... So a Hundred Weight doesn't really have a "hundred" of ANYTHING.....
Makes perfect sense!
AMENNow that everyone has taken the bait, maybe we can stop beating this dead horse.
At that point, is it a 'Royal' Fizzbin or just a regular Fizzbin?I do wish people would pay attention, a hundred weight has 112 pounds that's why its called a hundredweight.
AMEN!Now that everyone has taken the bait, maybe we can stop beating this dead horse. If P-39's were great, we would see a lot more of them as collectibles.
Obviously a long Fizzbin, a short hundredweight has 100 pounds.At that point, is it a 'Royal' Fizzbin or just a regular Fizzbin?
My bad, thanks for the enlightenment.Obviously a long Fizzbin, a short hundredweight has 100 pounds.
My bad, thanks for the enlightenment.
Except how many Fizzs' in a bin?
Well there were 12 pennies in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound, life must be hell for those who find it complicated. how do they tell the time with 60 seconds in a minute 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day? And lets not even consider the 360 degrees in a circle.Am I ever glad I went to England after the farthings and shillings had been dispensed with, crazy British money!!!!!
For me they all changed over at about the same time late sixties early seventies.If your money is decimal when everything else is imperial your heart is obviously not in it. When we used imperial units everything was imperial including the money.
