	Name the crazy units of the illogical British Imperial Unit system. Some of these we Americans have all heard of; some of them almost no one has heard of. Feel good if you get half of them. If you have any suggestions, questions or corrections, please comment. If you think this is a good one for the front page, go ahead and nominate it.

	"We" are not all Americans - but thanks for thinking of "we" Brits. 1 cwt is 112 lb, not 114, and "dram" is the usual (modern) spelling for drachm (which is really archaic).

	Having lived all my life in a country where we use both the metric and the imperial systems interchangeably (I know, it's crazy), I still didn't know more than half of these terms. Obviously, I'm not a sailor, not a land surveyor, or engineer, or architect... :)

	23/29. Missed out on Thou, Cord, Fluid Ounce, Link, Drachm and Quarter (should really have got that last one). All these used to be printed on the back of school exercise books When I Wor A Lad.
