Florida ounces

This post did not contain any content.
Acthually, all Florida ounces have an extra two grams in them as ordered by Desantis. It is called the "dealer's ounce" and they throw a little extra in to show you they care.

Sure, but that doesn't translate into real world as well, it doesn't cleanly divide on a tape/calculator, which is what I was saying is an advantage.
But in the real world you probably don't need more precision than 333.3 anyway.

I mean I'm pretty sure the American system is defined using SI units so it's mostly because of American exceptionalism and a fetish for unit conversion.
Only 3 countries use the shit Imperial/SAE measuremnts. USA, Liberia and Myanmar. WTF!?!?

I haven't, but it's easier to divide things cleanly and quickly into 3rds when you don't have to go down to 1/10000 of the whole length to translate it effectively.
It's why standard metric sheets of plywood (that I've seen - probably varies from country to country but when I was in Southeast Asia and Europe) come in 1200mm x 2400mm, because 12 and 24 are more easily divisible into equal sections than 10.
This is the same advantage that the foot/yard have over the meter.

I read it as "lubs"
I still read it as this gross sounding "^u^llbss" and have to correct myself.
