I’ve learned about them in school, but I’ve never heard anyone say something is 8 decameters long or anything like that. I’m an American.

    Haha, I promise I didn’t intentionally make my point about how obscure imperial units are in conversion. I looked it up but clearly transcribed wrong!

      LOL! I had to look it up too, and I was raised with them. I know the dozen or so that I use everyday, and that’s about all. Volumes are especially bonkers. I can never remember how many cups in a gallon or how many ounces in a pint.
