When they spell ‘tons’ the American way, perhaps I’ll bother reading their stupid article.

Tonnes means a metric ton of 1000 kg = 2,204.6 pounds........Tons American means 2000 pounds........Two waaay different measures......Then there is the BRITISH Ton called a Long Ton which is 2,240 pounds.

So you have to be clear when negotiating a price in the marketplace else you could wind up short.....
