What does TON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A unit of weight, 2240 pounds in Britain and 2000 in the United States.
The trouble with ton is that it names three quantities, not one: the long ton, the short ton, and the metric tonne, which is spelled differently and said the same. Shipping adds more still — a register ton measures volume rather than mass — so the word is only safe when the kind is stated beside it.
