I wonder if this is the same for many who use metric? If metric users feel uncomfortable with Imperial measurements they are likely to do the same, which is a pity.

Now, galloms are another thing. In the US it seems standard to use gallons for pot sizes, but those are probably not gallons? Then of course we have the US gallon, and the Imperial gallon. Not only that, the US has a liquid as well as a dry gallon!

I think it would make the database more universal if both could be included, but that's something for Dave to consider if it can easily be done.
