Ik heb het overigens wel over lbs (ponden), ik weet niet of jij dit bedoelt want normaal schrijf je het met kleine letters.

In mijn tijd stond het voor Lagere Burger School. Maar ik den,dat je gezien je toevoeging, dat niet bedoelt.

Een Imperial pound of Engels pond komt overeen met 0,45359237 kilogram (in een potje jam zit 450 gram). Dit wordt ook wel Libra Pound (lb) genoemd. De afkorting lbs wordt ook vaak gebruikt, maar is strikt genomen onjuist gezien de ongebruikelijke meervoudsvorm.

The pound or pound-mass (abbreviation: lb, lbm, #) is a unit of mass used in the imperial, United States customary and other systems of measurement. A number of different definitions have been used, the most common today being the international avoirdupois pound of exactly 0.45359237 kilograms.

The unit is descended from the Roman libra (hence the abbreviation lb); the name pound is a Germanic adaptation of the Latin phrase libra pondo 'a pound weight'.[1]

Usage of the unqualified term pound reflects the historical conflation of mass and weight resulting from the near uniformity of gravity on Earth. This accounts for the modern distinguishing terms pound-mass and pound-force.
