Yeak but then I’d need an easy conversion from just pounds to stones & pounds. American body weight just in pounds is as meaningless to me as kilos.
I’ve never heard the “gill” measurement word pronounced - and lo and behold I now have read that it’s pronounced dzhil- i.e. with a soft g. So no fish were harmed in the measurement of libations. Good to know. 
My allegedly native language …
Yes, soft g. Pronounced exactly as the female name Jill.
