Chciałabym się upewnić, jak brzmi amerykańska tona. Niby banalne, ale strasznie dziwne rzeczy poznajdowałam.

ton / metric ton
Bo sprawa wcale nie jest prosta ani jednoznaczna
"For the United States, metric ton is the name for this unit used and recommended by NIST.[7] In the U.S. an unqualified mention of a "ton" almost invariably refers to a short ton of 2000 lb (about 907 kg)."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonne
"When light-duty trucks were first produced, they were rated by their payload capacity in tons (e.g., 1⁄2-, 3⁄4- and 1-ton). The Ford F-150, Chevy/GMC 1500, and Dodge 1500 are a 1⁄2-ton. The Ford F-250, Chevy/GMC 2500, and Dodge 2500 are a 3⁄4-ton. The Ford F-350, Chevy/GMC 3500, and Dodge 3500 are a 1-ton. But throughout the years, the payload capacities have increased while the ton title has stayed the same. "

Określenie "metric" warto dodać gdy nasza tona ma mieć 1000 kg, a nie mniej.

ton / short ton (S/T)
może źle odczytuję, ale chodzi o to 'jak brzmi amerykańska tona' - jest to (short) ton (skrot S/T)
Poniżej wytłumaczenie (stąd: http://www.onlineconversion.com/faq_09.htm )
What is the difference between the short ton, long ton, and metric ton.
The British ton is the long ton, which is 2240 pounds, and the U.S. ton is the short ton which is 2000 pounds.
Both tons are actually defined in the same way. 1 ton is equal to 20 hundredweight. It is just the definition of the hundredweight that differs between countries. In the U.S. there are 100 pounds in the hundredweight, and in Britain there are 112 pounds in the hundredweight. This causes the actual weight of the ton to differ between countries.
To distinguish between the two tons, the smaller U.S. ton is called short, while the larger British ton is called long.
There is also an third type of ton called the metric ton, equal to 1000 kilograms, or approximately 2204 pounds. The metric ton is officially called tonne. The SI standard calls it tonne, but the U.S. Government recommends calling it metric ton.
