I resemble that remark. It's a Birkin if you must know.

For whats its worth a grain is not a unit of weight but a unit of mass.
Two completely different definitions and not interchangeable.

To be accurate one would ask what is the mass of the carbon fiber stock?
Everybody here including myself use the term weight/weigh as opposed to mass.

Grains is by far the most common unit used in N America.
Regardless it is still grammatically incorrect to use a unit when asking about the weight of something.
It is not the proper way to ask. If you doubt that, the next time you want to know how heavy an item is, ask someone, "What pound is it"? and see how that goes. It is both grammatically incorrect and logically incorrect so how about we stop doing that?
true... but you also started by saying..
So why are we measuring an amount of people by weight and not number? How many people per Ton?
It's English... it doesn't always make sense.

You are wrong and so is your antiquated definition.
Grains/grams/milligrams are all units of mass not weight.
Mass is a constant and is the amount of matter in an object
Weight is the variable force of gravity acting on an object.
Your weight would be different (less) if you were on the moon as opposed to the Earth.
Your mass would remain the same.
When you get your degree in physics I will be happy to discuss this with you in depth
No attempts at being offensive. I deliberately omitted the usual chai latte adjacent to the rifle on the shooting bench, the white framed shooting glasses, and the shooters arrival at the range in a bright yellow Nissan Xterra comments out of respect. I'd never slag the current champion of 900 yard moose hammers.mildly offended, but still finds it extremely funny
Right here on CGN...usually in the EE...I've seen reticle, reticule, retical, and even recital.
Of course, most of us know that reticle is definitely correct....or is that defiantly correct?
Don't blame it on spellcheck; the fault lies with people who are too lazy to even read their own comments before posting.
They're not willing to use their own brains to ensure there are no glaring mistakes.
