I am not from the US, and was surprised to see the number (hash) mark used to denote pounds, not just a number.

BTW, next year it will be 50 years after the metric system was stated as the preferred system for weights and measurements for US trade and commerce by law. Still not quite there yet, it seems.

We were on our way and then in 1980 we elected Reagan and effectively canceled the conversion to metric.

Well, to be fair, trade and commerce is a little different than the average person weighing something

For the record I would love to go metric, but since I live in the US I'm fully engrossed in pounds, inches, etc
