Same thing, exactly.  Incredibly useful stuff.

As I have learned in many pubs, a U.S. pint has 16 ounces and a 
U.K. pint had 20 ounces.  The ounces are the same volume, but there
is much more taste in a U.K. ounce.

> fluid ounce           29.6 ml (-4.1%)         28.4 ml (+3.9%)

There are many things I don't know, but I would check this one out
carefully.  I've never heard of the ounces being different.
