we used SI almost exclusively in university and high school. i was taught
there that pounds is a unit of force (not mass). however Wikipedia claims
pounds is a standardized unit of mass, not force.


I don't care who says pounds is a unit of mass, they are wrong! If you
use pounds in a formula that wants mass, your answer will be WRONG.
