One of the provlems with the English set of units is one liquid ounce of
water does not weigh one ounce. 16 fluid ounces is a pint and 8 pints is a
gallon. 16 ounces is pound and a gallon of water weighs 8.33 pounds instead
of 8.

That's 20 fluid ounces to a pint, at least in England :-)

Which is lighter, a pound of filter beads or a pound of feathers?
