Yeah, imperial is... confusing... like you have inches, but then you don't get decainches, you get feet 😒. And then you don't have kiloinches, you have miles 🤦.
WTF, I though they were related in 10s, that's not even true 🤦.
EDIT: Shit, now I got it, they're related in 12s, like in dousens... why, WHY!
Haha, if only.
Distance
-12 inches = 1 foot
-3 feet = 1 yard
-22 yards = 1 chain
-10 chains = 1 furlong
-8 furlongs = 1 mile
Weights
-16 drams = 1 oz
-16 oz = 1 pound
-14 pounds = 1 stone
-8 stone = 1 hundredweight = 112 lb
-20 hundredweight = 1 ton
Volume
-20 fluid oz = 1 pint
-8 pints = 1 gallon
What? They measure in chains and stones 🤨 😂. I actually didn't know that 🤣🤣🤣. Regarding oz, I thought it was a liquid (volume) measurement unit... cuz I've seen it on milk containers... oh well, guess I was wrong 😂.
EDIT: Oh wait, no, it's for both weight and volume 🤣🤣🤣.
EDIT 2: Nope, there is a volume and a weight oz 🤣, this thing just keeps getting better and better 🤣.
