    It’s a bit weird that the US uses a measurement that was created in the time where people used their body parts for measurement.

    Like, the inch is around the size of a thumb, and a foot could be bigger or smaller depending of who measured.

    Still, it’s still used as a measurement that only a small fraction of the world still uses.
