Reply to comment by snow_michael in TIL: The formal name for the Imperial system's measurements of weight (pounds/ounces) is the Avoirdupois system by NPC8705
> Britain is officially metric, in line with the rest of Europe. However, imperial measures are still in use, especially for road distances, which are measured in miles. Imperial pints and gallons are 20 per cent larger than US measures.
