You whacky Americans.  What will they think of next.
Sounds like a catchy system of measuring.  It should really take
off.

Ok, I googled it.  12 inches to a foot.  3 feet to a yard. 1760
yards to a mile.  It's so easy to remember.  I don't know why us
in the rest of the world are using this silly metric system where
it's 1000mm to metre, 1000m to km.  :-D
