Sorry if this topic has been asked before, or if the answer is obvious....(I just wanna make sure)

But I've noticed in some people's wiki profiles, they use the units of measurements mentioned in the game such as "ponz", "fulms", and "ilms"

Are those just direct word substitutions for pounds, feet, and inches, or is there an actual conversion that needs to be done as from metric to imperial?
They're just word-for-word substitutions, as far as I know.

All the units are:
1 Ilm = 1 inch
1 Fulm = 1 foot
1 Yalm = 1 yard
1 Malm = 1 mile

1 Onze = 1 ounce
1 Ponze = 1 pound
1 Tonze = 1 ton
Aye, that is what I suspected. : ) Thank you for the speedy reply!
You can find some more information on time, measurments and units in these threads as well.

Not for Americans! Big Grin

It's basically the Imperial System renamed a bit.
