  Why would I even want to know the conversion ratios to silly old fashioned units?

  Thank you! I had absolutely no idea there was 3 different units named 'ton' with 3 different conversions factor (<- this is nuts). Obviously, "regular tons" were -to me- the ones weighting 1000 kilograms.

    They are all close enough in mass for colloquial use though. It doesn't affect your understanding of this article if a ton / tonne is 1000 kg, 1016 kg, or 907 kg. I agree with the parent tho - let's just all start using metric :-)
