I noticed that too. However, I have a faint prior recollection of seeing the ounce
denoted by a double hash ('') and the pound denoted by a single hash ('). This is
similar to the way people denote inches & feet and angular minutes & seconds using the
same symbols. I can't see how anybody could possibly be confused by this system, can
you?? ;-)

How's that again? :-)
Surely you meant "40 g (1� oz)".
PS That thing between he "1" and the "oz" should be the fraction
"one-half". I'm not sure I produced it correctly on my computer so that
it will show correctly on yours. A recurring problem for me.)
