This is complete balderdash; I'll go first: 1. What is a "wheatberry"? 2. What is an "oxen"? 3. How long is "a day"?

  >complete balderdash What's completely balderdash about it? The definition of centimeter is accurate, so it cannot be the case that the post is completely balderdash? Like you've requested with my oxen and my days and my wheat berries, perhaps you could you also be more precise? Again, the point is that you use these measurements in situations where micrometer-tier precision is unnecessary. You can hear "pound", immediately be able to conceptualize it, and then move on with your life, not waste all day haggling with the merchant over his wheat berries that happen to be 0.2mm shorter on average than what you typically might consider to be a wheat berry.
