Nah, it’s just what you’re used to because it’s what you were taught at school. There’s nothing weird about saying it’s 25 outside or setting your oven to 180, or knowing that if it’s dropping below 0 that rain might turn to snow. I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s going on with ounces that measure volume or the ounces that measure weight, but then again it’s not what I was taught in school so it seems weird and awkward to me.
I think it depends on whether its an American ounce or a British ounce, oh and then there's also different ounces when measuring gold and silver too if I recall correctly. Troy ounces I think? It's a shame that Napoleon lost at Trafalgar and wasn't able to liberate the Anglo world from this weird set of measurements.

oh nobody understands ounces here either.
Yeah ounces are fucking indefensible, both the weight and the volume. I don’t even know much an oz weighs tbh
