England still measures things in miles and, even worse, stones. Surely you aren't so metricized as to not know an ounce is also a measure of volume?

So, even when the context is obvious, do you also make sure to specify "statute miles" and "avoirdupois pounds"?

Gamma is probably the end for this year- and for a change we caught a break- it's projected well south of Florida now.

Yeah, hurricane season for the North Atlantic ends on the 30th of November. However, tropical storms have formed in early December before. In 2003, both tropical storms Odette and Peter formed in December.
