> Apparently, this is the standard on purchasing of items sold in kilograms.

That sounds like nonsense. Standard where? What items? In countries that just use the metric system, there would be no conversion to pounds and ounces (most people would have to look up how to do it).

Hello logic, meet brick wall. Enjoy the conversation.

Lots of in between the lines intentionally left for the reader. No, I'm not in a country that normally uses kilo for weight. There are not many things sold by the kilo in non-metric using countries, but some items are regardless.

Trust me, I've already had this argument until I was blue in the face. It doesn't change the fact that this still occurs.
