I understand perfectly.
Everyone, stop measuring weights in stone -- England has been declared confused!
- wizzwizz4 6y agoI mean… the only thing still measured in stone is babies, and even that's falling out of favour.
- joshuaissac 6y agoMost adults in the UK still measure their weight in stones and pounds, at least in my personal experience, and I have never come across anyone (except those raised in other countries) using either plain pounds or metric units for this purpose.
- learnstats2 6y agoAdults in the UK who take sport in any way seriously are more likely to quote their weight in kg, in my experience.
- Symbiote 6y agoBabies weigh less than 1 stone (14 lb), they would traditionally be weighed in pounds and ounces. From searching "baby weight NHS", it looks like all the advice uses grams, so I assume that's current practise.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoWell, I must've completely misunderstood several conversations, then. Which would be characteristic.
