Confirm my informal measurement ranking

Disclaimer: Things may be different outside the USA.

I think it is:

Load (or Heap)
A-Load (or Heap)
S-Load (or heap)
Ton
S-Ton
Metric S-Ton
F-Ton
Metric F-Ton

 

[unixfish]

Sounds right to me!

 

[Peegoo]

I think "crap ton" falls immediately before "S-ton."

 

[Colin1230]

I believe S load to be more universal. I use it quite often.

 

[arlum]

I'm still using "some", "more" and "lots".

 

[AAT65]

Surely the Metric X-Tons are smaller than their "American Traditional Units" namesakes?? And should they be spelled Metric X-Tonne??

Also I think you've missed Shedload (which is bigger than a Load) and also Truckload (which is bigger again). I guess a Truckload must be getting close to a Ton...

 

[1293]

You left off MOAF-tons at the end.

I believe you are right. A metric ton is equal to 1.102311 ton

 

[Dismalhead]

You left out buttload.

I know it's a little old fashioned but the next in line from a truck load would be a boat load.

 

[Informal]

This should have been cleared with me first!

 

[Manual Slim]

You left out buttload.

Isn't that a euphemism for the second item in the list?
