The American measuring system

Who decided that a pound would be split in to 1/16ths ? Why does a gallon have 128 ounces? 12 inches in a foot and 3 feet in a yard... Really? 5280 feet in a mile? Water boils at 212 but freezes at 32 degrees. Who comes up with this stuff? Drill bit sizes... 11/64ths, etc. Just dumb. 2000lbs in a ton?

And then we have our weird hybrid system. Medicine is measured in grams and ml, most bolts on cars are in mm, pencil lead is measured in mm, dive watches are in meters, camera lenses and film are in mm, car tires are in mm, in, and have an aspect ratio.

Then there's our clock. Am/pm? Why?? There are 24 hours in a day, why the need to complicate things and chop it in half?

Too complicated.. lol

And people who name their kids cute baby names. "Hope," for example. Yeah that's fun until she grows up. Imaging being in your 30s trying to have anyone take you seriously when you say your name is Hope. Or being in school with that name.
