: If I'm not mistaken the US got it's system of measurement from English kings. An inch is the distance between two knuckles of a finger, foot is a man's foot, and yard is either one stride or the distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the fingers on an outstretched arm. I don't know where mile came from. Converting American measurements (like how beter to say a large number of inches) is like converting thousands of seconds into days, hours, and minutes. It sucks. Metric is so much beter and everyone knows it.



acualy it was the king who inented it's foot length(the rest of it is based on that king too)

and for the record, metric is way better
