Pounds

📖 A pound is a unit of mass that is equal to 16 ounces or approximately the weight of a small watermelon. It is commonly used to measure the weight of people, animals, and large objects.

💡 The pound was originally defined in ancient Rome as the weight of 12 bronze coins called "unciae." This is where the symbol "lb" for pound comes from, as it is an abbreviation of the Latin word "libra," which means "scale" or "balance".

Stone

📖A stone is a unit of mass equal to 14 pounds (approximately the weight of a bowling ball). It is commonly used in the UK and Ireland to measure people's weight, but also for weighing other goods.

💡 Did you know that the stone as a unit of measure can be traced back to ancient times? The ancient Egyptians used stones as weights for trade, and the practice continued throughout history. The stone was even used in medicine during the Middle Ages to measure patients' weight.
