*** corrected 12/15 ***
This Japanese tank led me to learn that the US M4 Sherman tank of ww2 was named [by the British, following their] custom of naming US-made tanks in their inventory for US Civil War generals. **added**[The British Army had received the first production run of the Sherman via Lend-Lease, while the US Army took one from that run for evaluation.] The UK army had named versions of the earlier M3 tanks Grant and Lee!

Did you know that there are 'short' and 'long' tons? 'Short' is 2000 pounds, 'Long' is 1000kg.

I guess I need Bing...(like the advert in USA, to combat info-overload). Awk! I did it again!

** excised ** [thus because the US started following the UK]

This is because 1 kg (metric) = 2.2 lb (imperial) but humans like to work in rounded numbers, so a "long" ton is technically 2200 lb.

Sherman tank... We've used that as a euphamism for years round here...
