Default Desktop calculator bug

Hello you, today I was trying unit conversion with Windows Calculator and
now it looks different. Can't find Newton unit, plus it shows new units I've
never seen before, Tonne for example, do you know this unit?

Hope you can help me.

Thanks,

It's raining and windy. I guess downthere you have nice weather. Meanwhile
I've downloaded a free unit converter. Can you recommend another calculator?

+1! Plus you can add your own custom conversions if something you need isn't
already there.

Someone in Portugal doesn't recognise the metric tonne? We're even
using it on official docs in the UK.

Lots of people here used to read ton instead of tonne. We say tonelada. But
maybe now I know who understands the difference between ton and tonne. Maybe
there's nothing wrong with windows calculator. Besides I don't need to know
every unit system in US and UK.

1. The newton (N) is a unit of force.
In "type of unit", there is no option to select force.

2. Tonne is the metric ton (1000 kg).
Like what is used in Europe.

Newton unit?

Isn't "tonne" a British weight unit?
Use a dictionary maybe?

Depending which planet you live on, the force exerted by a mass of
approx 102 grammes

Isn't "tonne" a British weight unit?


It's used here, but isn't specifically British, it's used everywhere
that metric units are.
