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.

Sorry, but YDI you really should have known that by now. I'm 22 and and I don't know as much as I'd like to think I do, but that's basic elementary knowledge.

Well I mean walking around the grocery store will get easier for you. Things will finally be in pounds.

I always read it as "labels" or "el bees" in my head

I used to say "libres". But keep in mind that English isn't my first language.

It's ok most people have quirky gaps in our knowledge like that. It wasn't until sometime in high school that I realized Washington D.C. isn't in Washington.
