Native UK here and I’ve never had a good reason to use stone as a unit of measurement. Kg works fine

What’s to wrap your head around? It’s 6.35kg or 12lbs.
Importantly it is only ever used to measure the weight of humans

It’s 14lbs, or 6.3503kg. It’s the conversion, I can work in mm/cm/m, or fractions of in/ft/yd, but despite knowing what the conversion numbers are, mental mathing it does not jive with my brain. Same with g/kg oz/lb and stone.
