Yeah, the US inherited the asinine measurement system used in Europe, but then didn't adopt the better one commissioned by Napoleon. Sadly, Americans have to remember numbers like 12 inches in a foot, 5280 feet in a mile, or four quarts in a gallon. Thankfully, much of the rest of the world doesn't have to,waste their valuable brain cells on such things, although if that's too much of a task you might want to reasses your memorization skills.
