and we calculate weight and balance forms, not mass and balance forms.
They are only called Weight and Balance forms by common usage, but that is still wrong. As I said before, if you are entering values in pounds or kilos then you are entering values as masses, the unit of weight is the Netwton. You don't enter Newtons on your forms , do you?
