I guess this is as good a place and time to ask this question as any. It comes up every time I read something about air conditioning:

What is the origin and purpose of rating AC capacity in "tons" instead of BTU? I know 1 "ton" equals 12,000 BTU, but why not just say "12,000 BTU" the way you would for a furnace?
