About Pounds
The avoirdupois pound (lb) is the primary unit of weight in the United States and United Kingdom for everyday use, equal to 16 ounces or exactly 453.59237 grams. It dominates American life: body weight, grocery produce, deli counter cuts, freight shipping costs, gym weights, and building material quantities are all measured in pounds and ounces. American recipes use pounds for meat and large quantities. The pound derives from the Roman 'libra pondo' (a pound by weight) - hence both the symbol 'lb' (from libra) and the British currency symbol '£'.
About Ticals
A tical (also baht or kyat in historical usage) is a traditional Southeast Asian unit of mass, equal to approximately 16.329 grams. It was historically the standard weight for gold and silver trade throughout Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos. In Thailand, the tical is the root of the currency 'baht' - the baht coin was originally defined as the weight of one tical of silver. In Myanmar, the traditional kyat weight system used ticals as a primary unit.
