I mean we really should be using Mayan numerals. Switching to a base 12 numerical system would simplify using the Imperial measurement system. /s
but why? you'll still measure things in football fields, elephants or "large boulders" so it won't affect you much
Rest of the world: meters, cm, mm
The US: gerbil teeth, lark tongues in aspic, toenail clippings on fire
Hm see, we don't have aspic, and I don't know what a lark is. But I definitely use bananas for scale
