sobriqueFannies.
Pants.
Chips.
Pints.
Gallons.
How did that happen? Technically the UK and the US both speak English.
But it's kind a been a while since there was a divergence, so I can understand there being different words for the same concepts (faucets for example).
But what I don't get is how we managed to end up with a different size of 'pint'.
Or for that matter why fannies are on opposite sides of the body in the US.
1 US pint = 0.832673844 Imperial pints
1 US fluid ounce = 1.0408423 Imperial fluid ounces
1 US pint = 16 US fluid ounces
1 Imperial pint = 20 Imperial fluid ounces
1 US gallon = 0.832673844 Imperial gallons
That's definitely confusing me.
