Why are you using pounds then?!?
Just how I grew up. I'll use grams and pounds for 99% of things, and rarely see KG being used for weighing people or animals around here.
Many store items are also mixed units... potatoes are in lbs, frozen vegetables in KG, cereal is in grams while hardwood pellets are in lbs. One will use oz while the other will use ml.
I don't care, as long as I understand what the hell I'm getting. ๐
