@purplebear You guys literally define 3 barley corns as an inch. You need 12 of those for a foot, 3 of those for a yard, 1760 of those for a mile. And nautical mile, which is completely different, is defined as being 6080 feet. In the metric system, all you do to convert measurements is move the decimal place left and right. Plus, metric uses the dimensions of Earth itself as its base measurement.
