You might find this to be an interesting watch: [1]: https://youtube.com/watch?v=iJymKowx8cY https://youtube.com/watch?v=iJymKowx8cY / "a defense of the imperial measurement system: it's not as bad as people say it is (but it is still pretty bad)" The primary point of the Imperial "system" is that it's not a single system. The fact that there are 5280 feet in a mile might seem insane, but feet and miles are from different systems, and they are used for entirely different things. For example, when driving in a car, distances are measured in miles, and if you were to direct someone to make a turn, you would say "turn right in 0.25 mile", not "700 feet". It's a compelling argument, and it's largely tempered my opinion of the USA's systems of measurement.
