I was at a track meet once and the lady running high jump was doing a horrible job. She was finally figuring out what she was doing and said : OK, we got this. Next height will be 5’12"
And yet every time we suggest switching to metric the very vocal minority claims it’s all actually very easy and switching wouldn’t be worth the hassle anyway. We’d actually save money if we switched to metric, by reducing the number of errors caused by bad measurements, but whatever, kermudgeons gonna kermudgeon.
It bothers me that the height chart suggests there are 10 inches in a foot
Shrinkflation came for the imperial system, I’m afraid. 10 inches is the new metric foot.

This lady is one of the many reasons we need metric.
I just had to look it up, you guys really don’t have it easy with your measurements. Miles, Yard, foot, inch and nothing matches up.

Oh god I didn’t even notice that
What about the fact that 4 feet is ankle height yet his entire torso is only 1 foot tall?
