I need to state clearly that English is not my first language. There are upwards of 600,000 words in the English language. In my native language there are a mere 11,000 and most of those are entire concepts (kind of like the theory of relativity) rather than words which translate individually.

A pound of gold is twelve ounces and a pound of feathers is 16 ounces.
.
Everything else in the world (when being measured in pounds) is measured in avoirdupois ounces or pounds. There are 437.5 grains per avoirdupois ounce and 16 avoirdupois ounces in a pound for a total of 7000 grains to the pound of feathers.
Jan... different meaning for the word "pound"... but a cute response.
Jon... just ODD knowledge.
