All of these #remainers in my DMs saying the #Imperial System is difficult. Look, a scruple is 20 grains and a troy pennyweight is 24 grains. A minim is 1/60 of a fluid dram so expressing a fluid’s density is easy. I choose pennyweight/minim as it just makes more sense.
If a train is travelling at 5 rods per minute and burns off a gill of fuel every 5 minutes calculate its momentum. Come on. Sir Isaac Newton could do it.

What’s heavier an ounce of sand or an ounce of gold? It’s gold dummy, because that’s the troy ounce, which is 1/12 of a pound, not 1/16 like the sand. See! Imperial measures are so easy! It's the future.
The only metric to Imperial conversion I ever remembered is that a long ton is 1.016 metric tonnes and a short ton is 0.907 metric tonnes. As a result I have been buying way more potatoes than I needed.
