  Yeah but “smoot” is WAY more fun to say than most other units of measurements. It’s right up there with plancks, bees dicks, and megaFonzies.

  Bold of you to assume that Americans are not so lazy as to refuse to measure anything at all. (Can confirm: am American) :-P

  As proof, just look at who wins the votes in an election vs. what actually happens next.
