Standard System.

What is Standard System.?


1.

A very old system of measurement which is used by Britain and the U.S.

These are the basic and not so basic measurements of length in order.

barleycorn (570,240 in a lea.)

inch (3 bc.)

hand (4 in.)

foot (3 hd.)

yard (3 ft.)

fathom (2 yrd.)

furlong (110 fm.)

mile (16 fur.)

league (3 mi)

Some people insist that a rod (don't let your mind stray) is part of the standard, but, since it doesn't multiply like the others (a rod is 16.5 feet), I wouldn't include it.

Americans and Brits use the standard system because we want to be different from the rest of the world — were not some sort of brain-washed, fluoride-addicted zombie — we are indies! (My apologies to anyone who has no idea what I just wrote)
