== cinder or concrete -- that is the question ==
I'm starting to get the impression that this article is really about concrete blocks, and that its parenthetical about "mistakenly called concrete blocks" is just wrong. I'm starting to get the impression that the bricks that were once called "cinder blocks" are no more, and that what people call "cinder blocks" today are really concrete blocks. Perhaps the obsolete bricks this article calls "clinker bricks" are the ones that were once called "cinder blocks". (Note, however, that the bricks described at the [[clinker brick]] article are quite different than this article describes.)
The cinder blocks I can buy today (in the U.S.) probably do weigh about 18kg, just as this article says "concrete blocks" do. (They are, however, still quite cheap.)
I'd rework the article to say all this, but I'm just not sure. I can't find any independent information about any of this on the web. The National Concrete Masonry Association's website (linked to from this article) is useless.
