As a smug European, I definitely used to think that Celsius is just a superior scale for measuring temperature. After 21 years in North America, though, I definitely concede that Fahrenheit is simply better and more intuitive for temperature.

The thing is, @MatthewParris3, we are usually a matter of inches or feet from other people, not yards, so the natural unit to use in this case would probably be the foot. Thus, "six feet".

My entire worldly KINGDOM for a Guinness glass that holds a can perfectly.. I've genuinely lost sleep about the 68ml of breathing space cans have in the pint glasses I have in the house here.

The word "acre" is derived from Old English æcer, which meant "open field". The acre is based on the amount of land tillable by a yoke of oxen in one day. (image from wikipedia.org)
