When Pottermore got started, this blog was a way for people who had not yet gotten their letters to take advantage of those who had. Now that Pottermore is open to the public, it's more of a glossary, a compendium of all the exclusive new content in Pottermore, all in one easy place.
You'd think I wouldn't need to say it, but if want to experience Pottermore for yourself without it being spoiled, DO NOT READ ON. Obviously.

Jo’s Notes: Measurements
Just as British witches and wizards do not use electricity or computers, they have never turned metric. They are not governed by the decisions of the Muggle government, so when the process of metrication (switching to metric measurements) began in 1965, witches and wizards simply ignored the change. Witches and wizards are not averse to laborious calculations, which they can, after all, do magically, so they do not find it inconvenient to weigh in ounces, pounds and stones; measure in inches, feet and miles; or pay for goods in Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons.
