RE: pound mass and pound force



When I was in high school we had kilogram-mass and kilogram-force units.
But SI eliminated this unnecessary confusion. All unnecessary confusions
should be eliminated, if possible.

On the other hand necessary confusions should be passed on to the
student with as little clarification as possible so they may be
preserved for posterity.
