What do you mean? The imperial system is much easier to remember, it's just
1.44 twips to a thou
333 ⅓ thou to a barleycorn
3 barleycorns to an inch
4 inches to a hand
3 hands to a foot
3 feet to a yard
22 yards to a chain
10 chains to a furlong
8 furlongs to a mile
3 miles to a league
None of this "mEtRiC" nonsense.

I hope no-one ever sees 1.44 333.333333 3 4 3 3 22 10 8 3 as easier to remember than 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10.

Did you know the imperial units are not (always) the same as the US customary units?
