    Wait a minute… Does the name of the currency come from payments that were not counted but weighed? Gotta check.

    ETA: Oh my gosh yes, one pound sterling (currency) was originally one pound (weight) of sterling silver. I’m probably the last person to discover this, but still that’s pretty cool.

            It’s weird when Reddit started shifting from ETA: “everyone’s the asshole” to exited to add.

            Idk I guess it’s the kids and their new dang language and hippity hop music
