MODERATORS
I've mostly killed imperial (well, US Customary) wolf by living outside of freedom-unit-land. Not so much intentionally, but my brain doesn't like miles and the like anymore. I do wish a third of a meter had a standardized nickname because 'about a foot' (about 30cm) is something people use all the time (including those that have never known the imperial/us customary system).
"Three decimeters" :)
“A school ruler”
Only works if your school had 30cm rulers as a standard but that appears to be true for many people i know.
