Americans, I gather, don't use stones just pounds. Do (did) Canadians use stones?
Canadians don't use stones. I had to look that one up to see how it translates to pounds (1 stone = ~ 14 lbs, I believe). When I was in England, I decided to step on my host's family's scale ... and was interested to see that it showed measurements in stones, pounds, and kilograms.
However, Australians use stones.
