I'm not from the US but I do spend a lot of time there and every time the units are absolutely painful. Nothing can be easily inferred whether lengths, volumes or mass (weight). It's all memorization. So actually "how many strikes in a coon" is not different at all from "how many inches in a foot". I guess there are historical reasons for this but the imperial system is basically just nonsense that everyone agreed on.
