Hi NebY,

A US pint is 16oz and an imperial one is 20oz. 20 is 25% more than 16. This is basic math/maths and I do not need a source. Please revert the article to reflect my correction.

Best regards,

As we take care to document, it is not that simple. See the remainder of the sentence and the link there to Comparison of the imperial and US customary measurement systems, the next paragraph of the lead, The imperial pint (≈ 568 mL) ... In the United States, ... a liquid pint (≈ 473 mL), Pint#Definitions, the infobox of Pint, or read Fluid ounce. NebY (talk) 16:49, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NebY,

I owe you an apology. I am sorry, I had not appreciated that a US oz is ~4% bigger than an imperial oz. This means the existing entry is correct and I was wrong. Thank you for your diligence. ‘Every day a school day’

Cheers,
