Comment on The US Plans to Finally Standardize the Length of a Single Foot

Comments

New plan:

1in = 2.5cm

1ft = 3dm

1yd = 9dm

1mi = 16092dm

I'm not sure whether it would be more or less likely than eliminating imperial units entirely :/

(edit: This wasn't entirely snark. For reference: the circumference of the earth is ~24901mi. With the new measure it would be ~24903mi, which isn't too shabby)
