Reading about this its interesting how things can have a different meaning.

So a UK hundredweight is 122 lbs or 8 stone and a us hundredweight is 100lbs

20 hundredweight in a ton so a US ton is 2000 lb and a uk ton is 2240 lb

Can't imagine thats ever caused confusion:-)

Or the fact that a UK pint is 20 ounces but a US pint is 16 ounces :)
