I am switching from metric to imperial: I am 1m34.5" --Lupo (talk) 08:18, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Wait, what? ounce can be volume or weight? So you could give the density of a material in oz/oz? Imperial units are really weird... --Lupo (talk) 08:21, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

That would be highly nonstandard. Density is usually given in pennyweight/cubic barleycorn. 209.188.63.33 08:52, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Not just that - it can be an areal density or a thickness, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ounce#Other_uses 82.13.184.33 10:21, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
