I really do not understand the americans haven't done so already. I mean 12 inch is one foot, but 3 feet is 1 yard. And so we continue on to the mile with all weirdness in between. Imperial units aren't meant for the modern human mind. Just use metric. Clear and easy. And I can talk to americans, tell them the distance is about 1 km and they know what I am talking about (or the other way around, I can understand the americans when they tell me that the distance is about a mile)
