This makes perfect sense.

If you are stopped with 170.097g(which is an exact US ounce, actually 28.3495231g = 1 oz, so 170.097g is still under 1 oz),
Confusing would be putting it tactfully enough for you? I will start buying my 170g ounces from you then. I should excuse the confusing grammar since you were a science teacher not an English teacher. Don't scientists proofread?


28 ounces is one gram
You already addressed this.

Next time I won't start my post welcoming you to the boards. I meant zero offense, I RARELY do. I spend most of my time helping people out here. If you are gonna be around for any time, you may want to thicken your skin a tad. It's a harsh, critical, expectation filled world outside your classroom. People can talk back to you here. Write my name on the board if you want, I was simply poking fun, one with any spine would have laughed it off and agreed, or possibly chalked it up to being stoned. Either way...

Again, welcome to the boards.
