Here in the rest of the world we pretty much all went metric in the years after NASA said they had put a man on the moon.Yeah, over 4 decades ago.So can anyone tell me why the letters LB stand for the American weight measurement called a pound, because my memory isn't as elastic as it once was.
Google is your friend. The "lb" stands for "libra," which is Latin for "weight."
Libra is weight? No wonder I'm fat, here all these years I thought it was my fault but it was predestined. xoxoxoBruce
