What? They measure in chains and stones 🤨 😂. I actually didn't know that 🤣🤣🤣. Regarding oz, I thought it was a liquid (volume) measurement unit... cuz I've seen it on milk containers... oh well, guess I was wrong 😂.
EDIT: Oh wait, no, it's for both weight and volume 🤣🤣🤣.
EDIT 2: Nope, there is a volume and a weight oz 🤣, this thing just keeps getting better and better 🤣.
