If it’s not described by “a pint’s a pound the world around”, it’s too complicated for me.
LOL!
Well, that "standard" is mighty fuzzy, considering the question: A pint of... what?
A pint of feathers certainly doesn't weigh a pound.
If you can count to 10, you can understand the metric system. Everything's a multiple of 10, which makes more basic sense than the huge variety of numbers in play with the "English" (who now use metric) system.
12 inches = 1 foot
3 feet = 1 yard
5280 feet = 1 mile
1 gallon = 0.13368 cubic feet
vs.
10 millimeters = 1 centimeter
100 centimeters = 1 meter
1000 meters = 1 kilometer
1 liter = 1000 cubic centimeters
1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram
I know which one makes more basic sense to me, but I guess I more or less grew up with it too.
