Why Do Americans Use Lb? [Solved]
So, when the US declared independence from Britain in 1776, it kept the Imperial System as its own. Over time, this system has become so ingrained in American culture that it’s hard to imagine life without it. Plus, since most of the world still uses metric measurements, switching over would be a huge hassle!
Americans use the abbreviation “lb” to refer to the unit of measurement known as a pound. It’s a common way of expressing weight, and you’ll see it used all over the place - from grocery stores to shipping companies. So if you ever come across something that says “2 lb,” you know it means two pounds!
