"troy ounces" should be converted to metric weights #30

Closed cannawen closed 7 years ago

cannawen commented 7 years ago

metric_units is a sassy reddit bot that finds imperial units, and replies with a metric conversion.

Enhancement request: Troy ounces are often used in precious metal subreddits, and they are different from regular ounces. 1) When the bot sees "troy ounces" it should be converted to metric weights. 2) When the bot sees "ounces" in a precious metal subreddit (/r/silverbugs or /r/pmsforsale) then it should convert as troy ounces.

See this commit for an example of how to add a new conversion. You can consider using a "preprocess" step to convert all text mentions of "ounces" to "troy ounces" when appropriate

Recommended skills: Basic javascript & basic regular expressions Estimated time: 60 minutes
