Imperial's Inches, Feet, Ounces, Pounds, Miles, etc... It's harder than Metric because in Metric, everything's based on 10 and in Imp., It's different values to get to the next unit (12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, 1760 yards in a mile, etc.).. |

Why not? They're THAT unfamiliar with it? They don't even know what a metre is? |
