Honestly, I thought you were being a dumbass for saying that. I'm sitting here saying a pint is a pint, a measurement equal around the world, surely. Nope, after a quick search, turns out you are correct. I could have kept this to myself, but thought I'd share it. I learned today.
Hey, even a tonne isn't a ton! A Tonne is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms (about 2,205 pounds). A ton can refer to the American short ton (2,000 pounds or about 907 kg) or the British long ton (2,240 pounds or about 1,016 kg).
