Default Re: Terms in America, England, Australia

Not truly theatrical terms, but they could crop up:

ton/tonne (metric ton)

US gallons/ Imperial gallons


An English unit of weight is stone (equals 14 pounds).


Pittsburgh doesn't rhyme with Edinburgh (though it did a couple hundred years ago...)
