In 1866, the U.S. Congress authorized the use of the metric system and almost a decade later America became one of 17 original signatory nations to the Treaty of the Meter. A more modern system was approved in 1960 and is commonly known as SI or the International System of Units.
Assuming you're talking about pounds, the ones there are a little more than 2kg to each one, there's nothing metric about them. They're entirely imperial.Another thing i noticed: if you want to tell your body weight, you say it in kg (62 kg for me whitouth edc , but if you want to tell how much weight you lost, you say it in metric pounts (50 pounts sounds a lot but are just 25 kg..)
(de) Pfund (which translates to pound) in German is a colloquial term and is understood as 500g.Assuming you're talking about pounds, the ones there are a little more than 2kg to each one, there's nothing metric about them. They're entirely imperial.
Wait... are we not using the Pyra as the standard for volume and weight (and maybe length)?
We'd have to agree on the plural form of Pyra first!
As the Pyra is greek, i would say its "Pyrae", and as its the successor of the Pandora, in Germany whe dont say "die Pyra" or "der Pyra", whe say "Düt Pyra" as whe had a poll on the German Board long ago ^^
What you said makes no sense. It's "Pyrae" because it sounds cooler and makes us look awesome when we use it.That makes no sense.
If it was ancient Greek, considering it's written, it would have been "πυρά" that has "πυρές" as plural; obviously it is not.
If it was ancient Latin, it would have been "pyra" or "PYRA" as there is no capitalization rule for names here, with "pyrae" or "PYRAE" as plural. It could be medieval Latin, but then "Pyra" would be a reference to "the name of the place on Mount Œta where Hercules is said to have burned himself" so it's a proper noun and has no plural in English (there's only one, so there's no need or point in making a plural...).
Now, considering you are writing in English and Pyra is the name of a product (a brand name, not a proper name), it gets its plural adding a "s", so you can buy three Pyras or three Dragonbox Pyras and take your Pyra to the park or wherever you want from September on.
