I don't think so. I think an Imperial Pint is 20 fluid ounces. It is 
on my measuring jugs.

Wow. We have different sized fluid ounces! How can that be? Surely 
it's the volume of an ounce of water. Wierd.

1 UK fluid ounce = 28.4 mL
1 US fluid ounce = 29.6 mL

Since an ounce is the same mass in the two countries, it must be 
that UK water is heavier! Why?

Perplexed,
