@dotstdy @NewtonMark @futurebird You know that pre-revolutionary France ran on an imperial system where the definition of "foot" was "the distance from the king's nose to the tip of his right index finger with arm outstretched", so that it changed whenever they got a new king? (Which was quite often, before indoor plumbing and the germ theory of disease.)

The USA should copy that system, starting with the Trump Foot, then ad-Vance-ing (sorry).
