Which sort of pints and quarts? Imperial or USA?

A considerable number of people have even less of an idea as to how many ounces are in a pint or a quart than they have of grams in a kilogram.

Yes, the point being that plasterboard sheet sizes are multiples of

300mm, whereas wood sheet sizes are multiples of 12"

buy em in bulk but maybe they should offer thenm in dozens. ;-)

Yes, I've got a set of tiddlers for the dremmel, 0.8mm to 3.2mm in 0.4 steps IIRC, and a few carbide bits for PCB holes

Perhaps we can go back to 2lb loaves of bread.

I've never understood how bakers got away with 2lb->800g, not 900g. Or better the 1kg of sugar.
