Why not use the terms that they are well known by when it is necessary to distinguish between them? The US ton is known as the "short ton" (which the original poster mentioned) and the UK ton is known as the "long ton." The metric ton is the "tonne." Yes, there are other tons around, like the longweight and shortweight tons, but they are archaic (as the long and short tons should be). -- Paul
