I just read a Guide written by a very ignorant reviewer who states that the Troy Pound measurement is a scam designed to take advantage of buyers. If so, it must be among the longest lasting scams in world history. Troy Pounds have been traded since 1758.

I could easily explain all conversions here but will not. I instead encourage all to do there own independent research into weights and measures. Everything you need to know is just a few clicks away.

Whether it is grains or gigabites, drams or drums,  know what you are buying, ask questions and do independent research. Do not chose to be a victim because of ignorance. This is the information age!
