    Stone only makes sense for people used to pounds, shillings and pence. For instance, “This costs 3 pound, 4 shilling and 8”, and, “I weight 12 stone, 6 pounds and 3 ounces”.

      “12 stone, 6 pounds and 3 ounces”, instead of saying “133.4 kilogram”. Lol. :)

      But the “being used to it” is always hard to overcome.
