Hi, iam Cynthia Glaser, So long!
Hey there! You know what they say: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Well, when it comes to Americans and kilos, that’s exactly what we do. Yep, you heard right - Americans are now saying kilos instead of pounds. It’s a bit of a change for us, but hey - why not? After all, it’s the international standard for measuring weight. Plus, it just makes sense - after all, why have two different measurements when one will do? So don’t be surprised if you hear us talking about kilos from now on!
Do Americans Say Kilos? [Solved]
Yup, Americans know the word ‘kilo’, but it doesn’t mean much to them. See, they don’t have any frame of reference to help them figure out how much something is in kilos.
Americans often say “kilo” instead of “kilogram” when referring to a unit of weight. It’s a colloquialism that’s become commonplace in the U.S., and it’s used in everyday conversation. For instance, you might hear someone say, “I need to buy two kilos of potatoes,” or “This bag weighs five kilos.” It’s just another way Americans have adapted the metric system for their own use!
