I mass, U. Mass., he/she masses, hmm...

I've got to side with Van on this one.  And it's not simply
because I don't like conjugating nouns--although that would be
enough.  If you really want to determine the mass of something
then you'd better apply a known force to it and measure its
acceleration.  I think I can make a pretty good case that that's
exactly what a spring scale does and that, therefore, spring
scales measure mass.
