We should go to Galleons Sickles and Knuts which with 29 Knuts = 1 Sickle and 17 Sickles = 1 Galleon will really raise arithmetic standards. . But British Imperial measurements aren't always the same as the US Imperial measurements,the gallon for example. nitpcik Are US measures ''imperial'' ? I think not. 1 US pound and 1 US foot are the same length and weight as British imperial - various standards agree on this - but surely not use of the term imperial in US ? / nitpick Ah, the US liquid measurement isn't the same as Imperial. I stand corrected, but I believe that's why an American quart of booze is known in Canada as "a fifth" in slang terms. One American gallon: 3.785 litres One Imperial gallon: 4.546 litres (roughly) |
