          2. @redenchilada Both units are called fluid ounces, the only difference is the country. For clarity, some places call them UK fl. oz. and US fl. oz., but that's not guaranteed to appear.

            1. @bitshift I always thought the UK just used liters for everything.

    3. @rotation I've never heard of anything but 16 used. Where does 20 come from?

    4. @rotation Interesting... Nothing's even consistent any more. D:

      1. @redenchilada It's nothing compared to middle ages. Now you have mainland and colony measures. Back then, everytime they changed king, lots of measures were changed.

    5. @rotation Well everything's just a huge confusing mess of measurements now. ;~;
