Today, I only just found out that the abbreviation "lbs" is actually short for pounds. I've been saying "labs" my entire life. I'm 21. FML

I guess we all know you didn't pay attention in school.

I'm surprised that nobody ever corrected you before. You must have some crap friends.

My sister pronounces it "illibles". She always has.

So I guess the next question is... How many labs do you weigh?

People probably thought you were weighing yourself in dogs all this time lol

The imperial system is so backwards in any case. In metric system the acronyms actually make sense. For example 'kg' stands for kilo grams. See ?

How do you abbreviate pounds to lbs? That always confused me. And there might have been a way to pronounce it... I'm sorry OP

I will never understand how people make it through school without learning the basics.
