Where this conversion shows up
Drinks and milk, where the pint survives in the US and UK pubs and supermarkets while everything else went metric — and where the two pints are not the same size.
Worked example
A 2 L bottle of milk is 4.23 US pints. Order a pint in a UK pub and you get 568 mL; a US pint is 473 mL, so the same word buys you 17% less beer.
Rounding and precision
