Okay, this is the same bull shit I got from google.  I understand
what they mean by 2d.  The d stand for penny weight.  All I want to know is 
if some one tells me to get a pound say 4 penny nails, I want to know the 
length of this 4 penny nail.  Say in the future I want to drive a 4 by 4 
post up to another 4 by 4 and want a nail 6 inches long, what would this 6 
inch nail be referred to in penny weight?  Thanks for your assistance.
