Its a typo that is carried over from the title at Linuxdevices.com, but could we fix it here?

At first I saw that the article was posted by @TA and thought it might be one of those English to Metric mistakes, you know the kind NASA seems to make every few years. We americans and our archaic units do tend to confuse the rest of the world.

After following the link to the original article I saw it was a typo in the title at that site.

Looks like a pretty neat device!

Contrary to what they think in the US, we still largely use the old Imperial units in the UK.

It's just that the EU loving government would like to think otherwise.

Every now and again some idiot thinks we should change ALL the road signs to use kilometres and kph.

Oh, and BTW, there's only one TRUE gallon ;D

I remeber when the UK switched to the decimal Pound. That was an adventure.

Well, in truth, the pound stayed the same, only the penny changed.

1 shilling: 12 old pennies = 5 new pence.

I was around at that time, but too young to remember the old system.

I did use the shilling and sixpence after the changeover (5p and 2.5p) though.
