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

The abbreviations is lbs bc in Spanish, it's "libra" & in French, it's "libré". Just for future reference haha :-)

Well, if you are a Blondie then it would explains why no one bother to correct you on this matter.

It would be nice if our language didn't use an abbreviation of the spanish word for pounds. Not your fault, we should collectively use pds or something to get rid of that ridiculous fault in our language.

It comes from Latin, not Spanish; the Spanish word also comes from Latin.

It comes from Libra. The zodiac sign, with the scale.

I'm genuinely confused about where you got the a from in lbs? How'd you manage to turn lbs into labs? I can understand why people don't know that lbs and pounds are the same thing, I wouldn't know if I didn't watch a certain American TV show but I'm just curious how you managed to turn lbs into labs haha.
