- codetrotter 5y ago> pounds are a more common unit if weight than tons? Are they though?
- spfzero 5y agoThere's two thousand of them for every ton, so yes! :-)
- krick 5y agoThat's... pretty good. Cannot even object.
- senthil_rajasek 5y agoI did a quick google trends comparison and pound certainly has a lot more references than ton. Another way would be to use a text corpora...
- jordan801 5y agoPerhaps because there is a metric ton and a US ton.
- kevinmchugh 5y agoI dunno if USA today worries about that tbh
