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.
Americans will measure with anything but the metric system.

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