On here and in real life I always hear people talking about stones( a weight system in England I think) and I was just wondering, what does a stone equal in American pounds? I'm American so when people talk about stones I am completely clueless. Thanks!!

It's exactly 14 pounds for all normal purposes, or possibly exactly 14 pounds period.
It's commonly used in the UK to weigh people, and that's about all. So someone would refer to their weight as 12 stone 5 pounds, not 173 pounds or (at least in the past) 78 kilograms.
