Yeah that’s just a bit more confusion that imperial measures brought us.
It’s all explained
here.

You mean the bit where it’s stated that if God intended for us to use Metric,
he would have seen to it that Jesus had 10 disciples?

That has nothing to do with the confusion between short (US) tons and long
(imperial) tons, which was what led us here.

Good think all the sensible countries are moving to metric ;)

No we’re not. And it’s telling that no country in the world has voluntarily
undergone the metrication ordeal, but rather the people who use measurements
in their daily lives have been forced to switch by bureaucrats who generally
do not. It’s even more telling that the same individuals who use weights and
measures on a daily basis often find ways to circumvent the metric system,
which is beautiful on paper, but entirely impractical in real-world
situations. It’s all explained quite beautifully
here. And
here. And
here.

ROFL!! I had hoped you’d realise I was being humourous, or maybe you did and
decided to bite anyway, in which case you really should have set your FUT more
appropriately. Maybe I should’ve set mine to o-t.fun, to make it more obvious.
Anyway, I’ve set it to o-t.debate now if you really want to continue, please try
not to fill up .boats with any more religious silliness.
