I enjoy it being a metric ton. Not a long ton or short ton, but a metric ton. Which has the proper SI units.
Long ton 2240 lbs
Short ton 2000 lbs
Metric ton 1000 Kilograms or 2204 lbs
I've used the saying "a metric

ton" for years, but never knew the actual values between a metric ton and a short ton.
