First you must understand the meaning of unit values. Then you must use consistent values. All units of weight involve no motion at all.

First, you must get a computer that can type in lower case letters. If you input only capital letters, the computer will think you are mad at it, and not convert the data to weight. (Computers can be cranky)

Then, you'll need to assign a value to each input. Then put it in a spread sheet and graph it.

Then convert the graph to whatever units you like. I like henweighs, because they are universal units.

I still use henweighs as often as possible. We also use piecosts frequently too.

What's a duckdo? Well, he quacks if you poke him. If you feed him too much you will get different results.

With many thanks to the best straight man in the business.
